—Jenkins, Jarrell & Cockerham
I wish I was a June apple
Hanging on that tree
Every time my true love passed
She'd take a little bite of me
Going across the mountain
I'm going in the spring
It's when I get on the other side
I'm gonna hear my woman sing
Can't you hear that banjo sing
I wish that girl was mine
Don't you hear that banjo sing
I wish that girl was mine
Charlie he's a nice young man
Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's a nice young man
Feeds the girls on candy.
Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river Charlie
It's over the river to feed my sheep
Feed them on barley
I wish I had some sticks and poles
To build my chimney higher
Cos every time it rains and snows
It puts out all my fire
