The first I seen my Cindy she was standing in the door
D                      G               D        A        D
Her shoes and stocking in her hand her feet all over the floor

She took me to her parlor she cooled me with her fan
She said I was the prettiest thing in the shape of mortal man

Verse

She kissed me and she hugged me she called me suger plum
She throwed her arms around me I thought my time had come

Verse

Oh Cindy is a pretty girl Cindy is a peach
She threw her arms around my neck and hung on like a leech

Verse

And if I was a sugar tree standing in the town
Each time my Cindy passed I’d shake some sugar down

And if had a needle and thread fine as I could sew
I’d sew that gal to my coat tails and down the road I’d go

I wish I was an apple a-hanging on a tree
D               G            D            A       D
Every time that Cindy passed she’d take a bite of me
