2nd South Carolina String Band
Cindy
[Verse 1]
Well you all have seen my Cindy
She lives away down south
She's so sweet, honeybees, they swarm around her mouth
When first I saw my Cindy
A-standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand and her boots spread 'round the floor

[Chorus]
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday

[Verse 2]
Well, I wish I was an apple
A-hangin' on a tree
And every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a bite of me
For if I was made of sugar
And standin' in the town
Every time my Cindy passed, she'd shake some sugar down

[Chorus]
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday
[Verse 3]
Well, my Cindy got religion
She had it once before
But when she heard my ol' banjo she jumped down on the floor
She took me to the parlour
She cooled me with her fan
She said I was the prettiest thing in the shape of a mortal man

[Chorus]
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday

[Verse 4]
Now my Cindy is a sweet girl
My Cindy she's a peach
She threw her arms around me and she hung on like a leech
She kissed me and she hugged me
She called me "sugar plum"
She hugged so tight I could hardly breathe
I thought my time had come


[Chorus]
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday
[Verse 5]
If I had a thread and a needle
If I knew how to sew
I'd sew that gal to my coattails and down the road I'd go
I want my Cindy, Cindy
Her lips, her arms, her feet
I ain't never seen another gal my Cindy couldn't beat

[Outro]
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday
