[Verse 1]
I wish I were an apple
Swinging in an apple tree
Every time my baby came by
She'd take a bite of me
Tell me that she loves me
Call me sugar plum
Throw her arms around me
Until I thought my time had come

[Chorus]
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day

[Verse 2]
You know I love you honey
Love your kisses, too
There isn't a thing in this whole darn world
That I would not do for you
Take me to the parlor, baby
Cool me with your fan
I swear you are the sweetest thing
In the sight of mortal man
[Chorus]
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day

[Verse 3]
Where you come darling
It must be from down south
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell pretty mama
By the bees buzzing around your mouth
Now way over yonder
On yonder's wall
Get down with me darling
Get down you all

[Chorus]
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm going to marry you some day
