Well I've been working in an orchard
I've been a-pulling down your apples all day
Well I've been looking at your daughter
And I've been thinking about her most every way
Well it was when the trees were empty
And you had told your workers all to go home
Well then you put your dogs upon me
'Cause you had found me with your daughter alone
Hey, hey, hey, oh hey, yeah, hey, hey
You know you've got to sing the song
If you wanna get along
Well I was working on a river
I've been a-trying to forget her, that's right
Trying to get it all together
But I just can't leave such a good girl alone, leave her alone
Well then I wish I had a daughter
And then I wish I had a hundred dollars more
And buy myself a shotgun
And I would steal away your daughter for sure
Hey, hey, hey, oh hey, yeah, hey, hey
You know you've got to sing the song
If you wanna get along, get along
