When it`s peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee
Cotton picking time in Mississippi everybody picks on me
When it`s roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee
And way down in old Alabama it`s gal picking time for me
There`s a bluegrass down in Kentucky Virginia`s where they do the swing
Carolina now I`m a coming to you come and just to spend the spring
Arkansas I hear you calling I know I`ll see you soon
That`s where we`ll do some picking beneath the Ozark moon
When the picker is picking cotton that`s the time I pick a wedding ring
We`ll go to the town to pick a little gown for the wedding in the spring
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 for me
