oh come sit down an' give me your word

that i'll be a man someday an' I'll hurt

these tremblin' (?) around me

this boy that I am

it's up here for thinkin'

and down there for dancin'

not the other way around

apples in the summertime

peaches in the fall

I can't keep the girl I got

I can't keep none at all

nobody knows how I can swing that sway

how I can creep from the narrow

to the broader way

but I'll do no more talkin'

I'm goin' to town

with my true love's breath upon my neck

and my hands on velvet ground

apples in the summertime

peaches in the fall

I can't keep the girl I got

I can't keep none at all (2x)
