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...
