Summary: How do I download this Mp3?Mp3: Cindy This is one of the great American folk songs that I learned at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. I love playing banjo on this song, which according to John Lomax is originally from North Carolina. Cindy is a widely known frolic tune, appearing in many folk music collections and even old elementary school songbooks. Lyrics: CINDY [C] You ought to see my Cindy She lives away down [G] south [C] She's so sweet the [F] honeybees [C] Swarm [G] around her [C] mouth. cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (I'm a-gonna leave you now) Wish I was an apple Hangin on a tree An' every time that Cindy passed She'd take a bite o' me cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (I'm a-gonna leave you now) She took me to the parlor She cooled me with her fan She said I was the prettiest thing In the shape of mortal man cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (I'm a-gonna leave you now) Now Cindy got religion, She had it once before When she heered my old banjo She's the first one on the floor. cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (I'm a-gonna leave you now) Now Cindy got religion, She wheeled round and round She got so full of glory That she knocked the preacher down cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (I'm a-gonna leave you now) [C] You ought to see my Cindy She lives away down [G] south [C] She's so sweet that [F] honeybees [C] Swarm [G] around her [C] mouth. cho: Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy Get along [C] home. Get along [F] home, Cindy Cindy I'll [C] marry [G] you some [C] day. (X2) Some additional verses: Cindy in the summertime Cindy in the fall If I can't have Cindy all the time Have no one at all. Cindy is a pretty girl Cindy is a peach; Threw her arms around my neck Hung on like a leach. Cindy got religion, Tell you what she done: Walked up to the minister Chawed her chewin' gum. Cindy got religion, She had it once before When she heered my old banjo She's the first one on the floor. Cindy got religion She really went to town; Got so full of glory, Lord, Shook her stockin's down. If I had a pretty gal I'd put her on a shelf; Ev'ry time she smiled at me, I'd jump right up myself. Cindy had one blue eye She also had one brown One eye looked in the country The other one looked in town Wish I had a needle and thread Wish that I could sew I'd sew that gal to my coat tails And down the road we'd go alt chorus: Git along home, Cindy Git along home to stay Git along home, Cindy One more night 'n' day alt cho: It's kiss me, gal Kiss me once again. Oh, it's kiss me, gal All night long.
