The late Mt. Airy, North Carolina, fiddler Tommy Jarrell sang these words to the 'B' part:
Wish I was a June Apple, Hanging on a tree
Every time my true love passed, She'd take a little bite of me
Going across the mountain, I'm Going in a swing
When I get on the other side, I'm gonna hear my woman sing
Don't you hear that banjo saying, I wish that gal was mine
Can't you hear that banjo saying, I wish that gal was mine
Charlie he's a nice young man, Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's a nice young, He feeds the gals on candy
Over the river to feed my sheep, Over the river Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep, Feed them on barley
Wish I had some sticks and poles, Build my chimney higher
Ever time it rains or snows, Puts out all my fire
