In the shade of The Old Apple Tree I’s in water right up to my knee I had to lay down while she was around ‘Til only my nose you could see Mosquiters was biting my nose And the crawdads was nibblin’ my toes I lay there all day ‘til she went away From the shade of The Old Apple Tree Here comes the pitiful part, boys and girls: V2. It was only yesterday that Jane and I got hitched You can bet your life I was a happy groom There was only one thing that filled my heart with sadness Was parts of her were scattered all over the room Her glass eye and false teeth was on the mantle And on the bed she hung her lock of hair And the one thing that truly filled my heart with sadness Was she pitched her wooden leg upon a chair C2. And it was a limb from that Old Apple Tree I’s in water right up to my knee I had to lay down while she was around ‘Til only my nose you could see Mosquiters was biting my nose And the crawdads was nibblin’ my toes I lay there all day ‘til she went away From the shade of The Old Apple Tree Yes, I carved out my name and there it was plain On her limb from the Old Apple Tree ------------------------------- 10.
