Hi Richard,
When I was in 6th grade, we used to sing songs from a book once a week. Every week someone would choose this folk song to sing, because it was titled "Cindy".
I thought it might make you smile. Seems that Ricky Nelson and Johnny Cash, both recorded renditions of it too.
The lyrics are:
Cindy
You ought to see my Cindy she lives way down south She's so sweet the honey bees swarm around her mouth
Get along home Cindy Cindy Get along home Cindy Cindy Get along home Cindy Cindy I'll marry you some day
The first I seen my Cindy she was standing in the door Her shoes and stocking in her hand her feet all over the floor
She took me to her parlor she cooled me with her fan She said I was the prettiest thing in the shape of mortal man
She kissed me and she hugged me she called me sugar plum She throwed her arms around me I thought my time had come
Oh Cindy is a pretty girl Cindy is a peach She threw her arms around my neck and hung on like a leech
And if I was a sugar tree standing in the town Each time my Cindy passed I'd shake some sugar down
And if had a needle and thread fine as I could sew I'd sew that gal to my coat tails and down the road I'd go
I wish I was an apple a-hanging on a tree Every time that Cindy passed she'd take a bite of me
