Peach Orchard Mama

Peach orchard mama, you swore nobody'd pick your fruit but me
Peach orchard mama, you swore that no one picked your fruit but me
I found three kidmen shakin' down your peaches tree

One man bought your groceries, another joker paid your rent
One man bought your groceries, another joker paid your rent
While I work in your orchard and givin' you every cent

Went to the police station, begged the police to put me in jail
Went to the police station, begged them to put me in jail
I didn't wanna kill you, mama,
but I hate to see your peaches tree fail

Peach orchard mama, don't treat your papa so mean
Peach orchard mama, don't treat your papa so mean
Chase out all those kidmen and let me keep your orchard clean

Peach orchard mama, don't turn your papa down
Peach orchard mama, don't turn your papa down
Because when I gets mad I acts just like a clown

"'August 1929, matrix no. 21400-2"'

Peach orchard mama, you swore no one picked your fruit but me
Peach orchard mama, you swore that no one picked your fruit but me
But you had three kidmen shakin' down your peaches tree

You had a man bought your groceries, and a joker paid your rent
Had a man bought your groceries, another joker paid your rent
While I work in your orchard and givin' you every cent

I went to the station, begged the police to put me in jail
I said I went to the station, begged the police to put me in jail
I don't wanna kill that woman, but I hate to see her peaches tree fail

Now peach orchard mama, please don't treat me so mean
Now peach orchard mama, please don't treat me so mean
Gonna chase out all the kidmen for to keep your orchard clean

Now peach orchard mama, don't turn your papa down
Now peach orchard mama, don't turn your papa down
Because when I gets mad I acts just like a clown
