Oh come sit down an' give me your word
That I'll be a man someday an' I'll hurt
These trembling around me
This boy that I am
It's up here for thinking
And down there for dancing
Not the other way around

Apples in the summertime
Peaches in the fall
I can't keep the girl I got
An' I can't keep none at all

Nobody knows how I can swing that sway
How I can creep from the narrow
To the broader way
But I'll do no more talking
I'm going to town
With my true love's breath upon my neck
And my hands on velvet ground

Apples in the summertime
Peaches in the fall
I can't keep the girl I got
An' I can't keep none at all
I can't keep none at all
