I wish I was an apple, a-hangin' on a tree   And every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a little bite of me   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day      Well, Cindy is my honey, the sweetest in the south   When we kissed to bees would all swarm around her mouth   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day      Well, I wish I had a needle and thread, fine as I could sow   I'd sow my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day      Well, Cindy got religion, she'd had it once before   She grabbed my ol' banjo, man and throw it on the floor   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day      Well, it's apples in the summer time, peaches in the fall   If I can't have the gal I want, I won't have none at all   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day      Cindy hugged and kissed me, she hung her head and cried   I swore she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home   Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day   I'll marry you one day
