[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
Well, I wish I was an apple hanging on a tree
And every time my Cindy passed, take a little bite of me

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you one day

[Verse 2: Nick Cave]
Well, Cindy is my honey, the sweetest in the south
When we kissed the bees would all swarm around her mouth, so

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you some day

[Verse 3: Johnny Cash]
Well, I wish I had a needle and thread, fine as I could sew
I'd sew my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you one day
[Verse 4: Nick Cave]
Well, a-Cindy got religion, she's had it once before
She grabbed my ol' banjo, man, and threw it on the floor, well

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you one day

[Verse 5: Johnny Cash]
Well, it's apples in the summertime, peaches in the fall
If I can't have the gal I want, I won't have none at all

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave, Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you one day
(Johnny)

[Verse 6: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Cindy hugged and kissed me, she hung her head and cried
I swore she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died

[Chorus: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Get along, home, Cindy, Cindy, get along home
Yeah, get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you one day
[Outro: Johnny Cash & Nick Cave]
Yeah, I'll marry you one day
I'll marry you one day
