Applejack Lyrics

He lived by the apple orchard
In this little old orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor
But I called him "AppleJack"
Now, old AppleJack was loved
By everyone he ever knew
AppleJack picked apples
But he picked the banjo, too

Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me, and I′ll sing
Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring

Now, I'd go down to AppleJack′s almost every day
And we'd sit, and we'd drink applejack
That old AppleJack had made
Then he′d take his banjo down
Then he′d ask me if I'd sing
And he would play the banjo
And I′d play my tambourine

Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, and I'll sing
Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Play one, AppleJack
That′s when I was just a kid, and now that I am grown
All I have are memories, old AppleJack is gone
Oh, but he left me his banjo, and it always takes me back
And every time I play, I still hear AppleJack
Everybody sing

Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me, and I'll sing
Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring

Oh, play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me, and I′ll sing
Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
One more time

Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me, and I'll sing
Play a song for me, AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
