Lyrics:
Now, he lived by the apple orchard
In this little ole orchard shack
His real name was Jackson Taylor
But I called him AppleJack
Now, old AppleJack was loved
By everyone he ever knew
Of course, 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
I’d go down to AppleJack’s just almost everyday
We’d sit, and we’d drink applejack
That old AppleJack had made
Then he’d take his banjo down
And then he’d ask me if I’d sing
And he would play the banjo
And I’d play my tambourine
It sounds like this
‘Cept he played the banjo better than me, ha-ha
You hope so, don’t ya?
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Clap your hands, this is your song
AppleJack would be proud of ya
Now, that’s when I was just a kid
And now that I am grown
All I have are these memories
‘Cause old AppleJack, well, he’s gone
Oh, but he left me his ole banjo
And it always takes me back
And everytime I play it
I still hear AppleJack
Clap your hands and sing
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song for me, and I’ll sing (Well, now)
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 (Oh, yeah now)
Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack
Play a song, let your banjo ring
Whoo-hoo
