Merle Haggard Peach Picking Time In Georgia Lyrics

Peach Picking Time In Georgia Lyrics

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

Then down in old Alabama

It's gal picking time for me



There's the bluegrass down in Kentucky

Virginia's where they do the swing

Carolina now I'm a coming to you

Coming to spend the spring



Arkansas I hear you calling

I know I'll see you soon

That's where we'll do some picking

Underneath the Ozark moon



Now when hard times overtake you

I hope they don't get me

For I've gotta a sweetie waiting

For me down at Tennessee



I know I'm goin' to see her

And I hope it won't be long

'Cos there's where we're picking little [incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]



Now after I've picked all my cotton

I pick a wedding ring

We'll go down town pick a wedding 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 to me
