'Twas in the spring one sunny day
              A                        E
My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away

If you don't like my peaches don't you shake my tree
                 A                      E
'n get out of my orchard let my peaches be
E                              B7

I'm gonna get me a woman like you got your man
