Applejack lyrics

Song information

Artist: Dolly Parton
Album: New Harvest First Gathering

Lyrics

He lived by the apple orchard in this little ole orchard shack
His real name was jackson taylor but I called him applejack
Now ole applejack was loved by everyone he ever knew
Cause applejack picked apples but he picked the banjo too

Play your song for me applejack applejack
Play your song for me and I'll sing
Play your song for me applejack applejack
Play your song let your banjo ring

Now I'd go down to applejack's just almost every day
We'd sit and we'd drink apple jar that ole 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 I'd play my tambourine

Play your song for me applejack applejack..
[ banjo ]
Now that's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown
All I have are mem'ries cause ole applejack is gone
Oh but he left me the banjo and it always takes me back
And everytime I play it I still hear applejack

Play your song for me applejack applejack..
Play your song for me applejack applejack..
