1. Well, I wish I was an apple, hangin' on a tree,
                                                                                                 C7
    and every time my Cindy passed, she'd take a little bite of me.

                   F                                              C

2. Well, Cindy is my honey, the sweetest in the south,
                                                                                              C7
    when we kissed, the bees would all swarm around her mouth.

                   F                                              C

3. Well, I wish I had a needle and thread, fine as I could sow,
                                                                                     C7
    I'd sow my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go.

                   F                                              C

    she grabbed my ole banjo, man, and threw it on the floor.

                   F                                              C

    if I can't have the gal I want, I won't have none at all.

                   F                                              C

    I swore she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died.

                   F                                              C
