When it's peach pickin' time in Georgia
It's 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 Alabama
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 to spend the spring
Arkansas, I hear you calling
I know I'll see you soon
There's where we'll do a little pickin'
Beneath that ol' Ozark moon
When the pickaninnies picks the cotton
That's the time I'll pick a wedding ring
We'll go to town, we'd pick a little gown
For the wedding in the spring
I 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 to me
