Okanagan Valley Lyrics by Pert Near Sandstone

Paradise Hop

2011

[Verse]
Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall
Up and down this valley I’ve picked buckets of them all
300 dollars a week, and good times here to tell
How can a young man stay at home when the girls all look so well
[Chorus]
Okanagan Valley, a fruit picker’s delight
Work hard in the daytime and singing all the night
(Alt) Drinking wine and singing songs all hours of the night
Okanagan Valley, you’ve never done me wrong
Sleep under a cherry tree, then up to work at dawn
[Verse]
I’ll never marry a rich girl, she’ll sit at home and cry
Marry me a country girl who can bake an apple pie
With money in my pocket, and shoes upon my feet
Everywhere I look there’s more fruit than a man can eat
[Chorus]
Okanagan Valley, a fruit picker’s delight
Drinking wine and singing songs all hours of the night
Okanagan Valley, you’ve never done me wrong
Sleep under a cherry tree, then up to work at dawn
[Verse]
Them fruit trees are heavy, limbs hang on the ground
Grab my pack across by back and head from town to town
A poor man takes a Greyhound bus, a rich man rides a plane
Me I’m gonna walk that road and get there just the same
[Chorus]
Okanagan Valley, a fruit picker’s delight
Work hard in the daytime and singing all the night
Okanagan Valley, you’ve never done me wrong
Sleep under a cherry tree, then up to work at dawn
