Lyrics

Wish I were a June apple hanging on a tree Everytime my true love pass, take a bite of me Take a bite of me, Lord, take a bite of me Everytime my true love pass, take a bite of me Every night when I come home, my wife I try to please her The harder I try, the worse she gets, damned if I don't leave her Damned if I don't leave her, damned if I don't leave her The harder I try, the worse she gets, damned if I don't leave her Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall If I can't have the girl I love, I don't want none at all Don't want none at all, Lord, don't want none at all If I can't have the girl I love, I don't want none at all
