He lived by the apple orchard in this old 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 picked the banjo too.
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
3x Chorus
