[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
[Instrumental]
C C / C C / F C / F C G7 C

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
