There are so many different ways to play this and so many different lyrics. I just felt like playing it like this at this present time. I also do a soft melodic fingerpicking version which I may post at some point in the future.

Cindy - lyrics

She lives away down south

She's so sweet the honeybees

Swarm around her mouth.

Chorus:

Get along home, Cindy Cindy

Get along home, Cindy Cindy

Get along home, Cindy Cindy

I'll marry you some day.

I went up to the mountain to give

my horn a blow. When I come down my

Cindy was a knockin at my door.

The first I seen my Cindy, she

was standing in the door. Her

shoes and stockings in her hand

little bare feet on the floor.

______

She took me to her parlor she

cooled me with her fan. She told

me I was the sweetest thing in the

shape of mortal man.

She kissed me and she hugged me

she called me sugar plum. When She

throwed her arms around me, Lord I

thought my time had come.

_______

When Cindy got religion, she shouted all around.

She got so full of glory, she pulled my briches down.

I wish I were an apple

A-hanging on the tree

And every time that Cindy passed

She'd take a bite o' me

_______

I wish I had a needle as fine as I

could sew. I`d sew them gals to my

coat and down the road I`d go.

Peaches in the summertime, apples in

the fall. If I cant have my Cindy,

dont want no one at all.

Like your version of Cindy, Cindy. Just came across it on YouTube. Tell me are you using. Thumb pick or Flat pick. Your timing on strumming is flawless-tom
