Written by Jimmie Rodgers - Clayton McMichen Recorded by Hank Snow When it's peach picking time in Georgia apple picking time in Tennessee Cotton picking time in Mississippi everybody picks on me When it's roundup time in Texas the cowboys make whoopee And way down in old Alabama it's gal picking time for me There's a bluegrass down in Kentucky Virginia's where they do the swing Carolina now I'm a coming to you come and just to spend the spring Arkansas I hear you calling I know I'll see you soon That's where we'll do some picking beneath the Ozark moon When the picker is picking cotton that's the time I pick a wedding ring We'll go to the town to pick a little gown for the wedding in the spring 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 for me
