| Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree |
| an apple tree, |
| Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree |
| and the man who owned it wanted it to be picked |
| so he sent forth to hire me Well, I’ve travelled the mountains, and I’ve travelled the sea |
| but a never in my travelling days |
| have I ever seen a little apple smile at me! |
| Laugh, oh laugh a little apple |
| Autumn is waitin', you’d better be careful, |
| For it will bring you down |
| if it ever sees you wearing a frown |
| so laugh, laugh a little apple |
| Well all the apples were hidin' |
| Frightened that they might be plucked |
| and everytime that somebody passed |
| all except that one little apple ducked |
| Well, I’ve travelled the mountains, and i’ve travelled the sea |
| but a never in my travelling days |
| have I ever seen a little apple smile at me! |
| Laugh, oh laugh a little apple |
| Autumn is waitin', you’d better be careful, |
| For it will bring you down |
| if it ever sees you wearing a frown |
| so laugh, laugh a little apple |
