[Verse 1]
When it's peach-picking time in Georgia
Apple-picking time in Tennessee
Cotton-picking time in Mississippi
Everybody picks on me
And when it's roundup time in Texas
The cowboys make whoopee
And way on down in Alabama
It's gal-picking time to me

Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh de oh le-ee

[Verse 2]
There's a bluegrass down in Kentucky
Virginia's where they do the swing
And Carolina now, i'm coming
To you to spend the spring
Arkansas, I hear you calling
I know I'll see you soon
And there's where we'll do a little picking
Underneath the Ozark moon

Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh de oh le-ee

[Verse 3]
When all the pickers are picking cotton
That's when I'll pick a wedding ring
We'll go downtown and buy a wedding 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-picking time in Georgia
It's gal-picking time to me
Yodel le-ee oh le-ee oh de oh le-ee
