Lyrics

Fly around my pretty little miss Fly around my daisy Fly around my pretty little miss You almost drive me crazy

The higher up the cherry tree The riper grows the cherries The more you hug and kiss the girls The sooner they will marry Coffee grows on white oak trees The river flows with brandy If I had my pretty little miss I’d feed her sugar candy Going to get some weevily wheat I’m going to get some barley Going to get some weevily wheat And bake a cake for Charlie
