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
Repeat chorus 3 times
