When it's peach pickin time in Georgia
Apple pickin' time in Tennesee
Cotton pickin' time in Mississippi
Everybody picks on me
When it's roundup time in Texas
The Cowboys make Whoopee
And way down in old Alabamy
It's gal pickin time to me

There's the bluegrass in old Kentucky
Virginia's where they do the swing
Carolina now I'm coming to you
Coming just to spend the spring
Arkansas I hear you calling
I know I'll see you soon
There is where we'll do some pickin
Beneath that ole Ozark moon

When the pickininees pick the cotton
That's the time I'll pick the wedding ring
We'll go to town a 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 pickin' time in Georgia
It's gal pickin' time for me
