When it's peach picking time in Georgia, apple picking time in Tennessee

G7 C a D7 G

Cotton picking time in Mississippi, everybody picks on me

When it's roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee

F C A D7[C7+2 G7[E+2 C

Then down in old Alabama it's gal picking time to me

There's the bluegrass down in Kentucky; Virginia's where they do the swing

Carolina, now I'm coming, to you to spend the spring

Arkansas, I hear you calling; I know I'll see you soon

There's where I'll do a little picking underneath the Ozark moon.

REFRAIN: Yodel ay-hee o, olay-hee o, olay-hee.



Now when hard times overtake you, I hope they don't get me

For I've got a sweetie waiting, for me down in Tennessee

I know I'm going to see her, I hope it won't be long

There's where we'll pick a little cabin, and call it our mountain home

REFRAIN: Yodel ay-hee o, dee yodel ay-hee o, dee yodel ay-hee.



When the pickaninnies pick the cotton, I'll pick a wedding ring

We'll go to town and pick a little gown, for the wedding in the spring

I hope the preacher knows his business; I know he can't fool me

When it's peach picking time in Georgia, it's gal picking time to me

REFRAIN: Yodel ay-hee o, dee yodel ay-hee o, dee yodel ay-hee.
