The Old Apple Tree Lyrics - Artist : Mungo Jerry
I smiled at her and she smiled back at me
I asked her to walk with me along the beach I took her arm as we strolled by the sea I smiled at her and she smile back at me She told me her father did live by the gun And if he saw me she said I should run I saw him comin' as I turned around So I ran away to the heart of the town And bought me a gun to shoot that man down Late in the night by the old apple tree I met that girl and she promised to me That she'd always love till her dyin' day I truly believed every word she would say I held her tightly then she walked away I knew that her father had spoken 'bout me And his daughter's wishes he could not agree He came after me 'cause he wanted me dead So I pulled out my pistol and blew off his head He lay on the ground and I filled him with lead The neighbors heard gunshot a-rain in the night When they came and got me, I put up no fight I could have been hung from the old apple tree It was self-defense, so it never would be So I beat the noose and I walked away free I'm still around and my girl's by my side I beat the noose, it's not time yet to die And what a bright mornin', light shines down on me My girl, she will marry, yes, marry me We'll live in the house by the old apple tree |
