Tennessee Peaches Blues - Peetie Wheatstraw

I was born in Mississippi

Raised in Tennessee

I was born in Mississippi

An I’s raised in Tennessee

But there wimens in Missour-a

Picks on over me

My babes have something

I don’t know what it is

My babes have something

I don’t know what it is

Ev’rytime she moves

Baby, now I can’t be still

Said the peaches I’m loving

Don’t grow on no trees

Lord, that peaches I’m loving

Don’t grow on no trees

Lord, it’s somewhere baby

Just above yo' knees

Well now, you said it’s peaches you love

They don’t grow on no trees

There another peaches you love

They’ll grow on no tree

(Where they grow at?)

I b’lieve now you say

Peaches, now grow just above the knees

Well now, b’lieve I’ll go

Back down in Tennessee

Right now I b’lieve I’ll go

Back down in Tennessee

Well baby, that where the peaches grow, honey

Now just above the knee

Hoo-umm-umm

Hoo-well-well, so sweet

Hoo-hoo-umm

Babe, they’re so smooth

Well-well-well, now

Hoo-hoo-ooo-ooo

In your grove

Peaches, growin' on no tree

Like the big wild peaches

Don’t grow on no tree

Well, I b’lieve to my soul, now

'At's down in Tennessee.
