Merle Haggard Peach Picking Time Down 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
And way 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
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 pickininees pick the 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
