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 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
Repeat 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
