[Verse 1]
Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree
Every time you'd pass me by, you'd take a bite of me
I wish I was a bluebird, I'd never fly away
I'd sit up on your shoulder, baby, and sing to you all day

[Chorus]
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

[Verse 2]
I wrote it in a letter, carved it on a tree
Told it to a honeycomb, told it to a bee
Told them that I love you, they all know it's true
Say it 'til the cows come home, until it gets to you

[Chorus]
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Need you in the morning to start the coffee pot
Need you in the afternoon to fan me when I'm hot
Need you in the evening when supper time is through
What I'm really trying to say is I can't get enough of you

[Chorus]
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

[Verse 4]
If I were a musician, I'd harp on just one thing
You should never play my harp the way you pluck a string
If only you would love me, sincerely tell me so
I'd beat two drums about it, baby, to have the whole world know

[Chorus]
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home, Cindy, Cindy
Come on home to me

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
