  [Verse 1]
 
        C                    C
Well, I wish I was an apple, hangin' on a tree
    C                           C
And every time my Cindy passed, take a little bite of me
          F                             C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
          F                        C     G7      C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
 
 
  [Verse 2]
 
      C                      C
Well, Cindy is my honey, the sweetest in the south
C                                 C
When we kissed the bees would all swarm around her mouth
              F                             C
Oh, get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
          F                        C     G7      C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you someday
 
 
  [Verse 3]
 
        C                               C
Well, I wish I had a needle and thread, fine as I could sow
    C                           C
I'd sow my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go
          F                             C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
          F                        C     G7      C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
 
 
  [Verse 4]
 
      C                         C
Well, Cindy got religion, she's had it once before
    C                              C
She grabbed my ol' banjo, man, and threw it on the floor
                F                             C
Well, get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
          F                        C     G7      C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day

  [Verse 5]
 
           C                          C
Well, it's apples in the summer time, peaches in the fall
   C                              C
If I can't have the gal I want, I won't have none at all
          F                             C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
          F                        C     G7      C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
 
 
  [Verse 6]
 
C                               C
Cindy hugged and kissed me, she hung her head and cried
  C                                      C
I swore she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died
          F                             C
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
                F                        C     G7      C
Yeah, get along home, Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
     C     G7      C         C     G7      C
I'll marry you one day, I'll marry you one day
