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

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


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

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


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


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

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
