Up Drops I’ve got picking-up-drops-for-thecider-mill blues - From the top of my head to the soles of my shoes. I’ve been picking up apples for nearly a week; ' All the joints in my body are ; starting to squeak. H There’s a spot in my iback that is twisted and bent. A machine “picker-upper” someone should invent. Look at me as I crawl on my hands and my knees With my nose in the grass and my rump in the breeze. 1 walk with a stoop and it'kills me to squat; My knees are both calloused, believe it or not. For work so low down I should hire a snake; His hips would get under and his back wouldn’t break. I have bark in both eyes and' a nose full of tvftgs; My face is all scratched and my back’s full of digs. I’ve ripped holes in my britches and torn my old shirt. How those darn little branches can snap back and hurt!
