《The Old Apple Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] The Old Apple Tree - Bob Crosby

[00:00:29] Oh The old apple tree in the orchard

[00:00:34] Lives in my memory

[00:00:38] Cause it reminds me of my Pappy

[00:00:41] He was handsome young and happy

[00:00:43] When he planted the old apple tree

[00:00:48] Say "Goodbye" say "Goodbye"

[00:00:52] Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree

[00:00:57] If my Pappy had a knowed it

[00:01:00] He'd be sorry that he growed it

[00:01:02] Cause he died on the old apple tree

[00:01:07] Then one day Pappy took Widder Norton

[00:01:12] Out on a jamboree

[00:01:16] And when he took her home at sun-up

[00:01:19] Brother Norton raised his gun up

[00:01:21] And chased Pappy up in the tree

[00:01:26] Say "Goodbye" say "Goodbye"

[00:01:31] Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree

[00:01:36] If my Pappy had a knowed it

[00:01:38] He'd be sorry that he growed it

[00:01:41] Cause he died on the old apple tree

[00:01:46] When the neighbors came after my Pappy

[00:01:51] Up in the tree was he

[00:01:55] The neighbors took a rope and strung him

[00:01:58] By the neck and then they hung him

[00:02:00] To a branch of the old apple tree

[00:02:05] Say "Goodbye" say "Goodbye"

[00:02:10] Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree

[00:02:14] If my Pappy had a knowed it

[00:02:17] He'd be sorry that he growed it

[00:02:19] Cause he died on the old apple tree

[00:02:24] Now my poor Pappy lies in the orchard

[00:02:30] Out of his misery

[00:02:34] They put the apples in the basket

[00:02:36] Chopped the tree down for a casket

[00:02:39] And my poor Pappy's gone with the tree

[00:02:44] Say "Goodbye" say goodbye

[00:02:48] Say "Goodbye" to the old apple tree

[00:02:53] If my Pappy had'a knowed it

[00:02:56] He'd be sorry that he growed it

[00:02:58] Cause he died on the old apple tree
