Picking Time in Georgia Songtext

von Jimmy Rogers

When it's peach picking time in Georgia
Apple picking time in Tennessee
Cotton picking time in Mississippi
Ev'rybody picks on me
And when it's round uptown in Texas
The cowboys make whoopee
Then down in ol' Alabama
Is gal picking time to me

There's bluegrass down in Kentucky
Virginia's where they do the swing
Carolina, now I'm coming
To you to spend the spring
Arkansas, I hear you calling
I know I'll see you soon
That's when I'll do a little picking
Underneath the old Arkie moon

Now when hard times overtake you
I hope they don't get me
For I have got a little sweety waitin'
For me down in Tennessee
I know I'm goin' to see her
I hope it won't be long
That's where we'll pick a little cabin
And call it our mountain home

When all the pickers have picked the cotton
I'll pick a wedding ring
And will go to town and pick a little gal
For wedding in the spring
I hope the preacher knows his business
I know he can for me
Peach picking time in Georgia
Is gal pickin' time to me
