He lived by the apple orchard in this little 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

Chorus:



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 everyday

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



Repeat chorus



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 everytime i play it i still hear applejack



Repeat chorus 3 times
