Thread Name: Origins: 'Cindy Cindy' - how old is it?
Subject: RE: Origins: 'Cindy Cindy' - how old is it?
A guitar line for this is in a Mel Bay book. I used to play it in G,
just as it's in the book.
Johnny Cash and Nick Cave did a duet of this song, and they just
credited it as traditional. (Unearthed Box Set on American Records).

Two verses included are:

Apples in the summer time, peaches in the fall,
If I can't have the gal I want, I won't have none at all.

And:

Cindy hugged and kissed me, she hung her head and cried,
I swear she was the prettiest thing that ever lied and died.
