Cindy

I wish I was an apple

A-hangin on the tree

An' every time that Cindy passed

She'd take a bite o' me

I wish I had a needle

As fine as I could sew

I'd sew that gal to my coat tails

And down the road we'd go

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

The first time I saw Cindy

She was standing in the door.

Her shoes and stockings in her hands,

Her feet all o'er the floor.

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

She took me to the parlor

She cooled me with her fan

She swore I was the prettiest thing

In the shape of mortal man

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

She told me that she loved me

She called me Sugarplum

She throwed her arms around me

I thought my time had come

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

Now, Cindy got religion,

She swung around and round

She got so full of glory

She knocked the preacher down

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

She loved me on the mountainside

She loved me on the hill

And every time she said "I won't"

Her echo said "I will!"

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

You ought to see my Cindy

She lives away down south

She's so sweet the honeybees

Swarm around her mouth.

My Cindy in the springtime,

My Cindy in the fall,

If I can't have my Cindy,

I'll have no girl at all!

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

Get along home, little Cindy

I'll marry you some time.
