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
|
