Oh come sit down and give me your word   That I'll be a man someday and I'll hurt   These children 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      Apples in the summertime   Peaches in the fall   I can't keep the girl, I got   I can't keep none at all
