Apples Don T Fall Far From The Tree lyrics

When I was five
I put on mama`s high heel shoes
And paint my face
Dance across the living room
At Ruby`s place
Where the music was always playing
Girls were alive
While the men were saying

[Chorus:]
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
Hey honey, come sit on my knee
Apples don`t fall far from the tree
And I remember mama`s tears
When they said in a few years
I`d be something to see

At seventeen
I had me a diamond
And a string of pearls
Men said they preferred me
To the other girls
They took me to the best of places
But I could read it on their faces

[Chorus]

Then when mama died
I made up my mind
To get on a gray hound
Get out of this town
And leave it all behind
But life goes on
A child of three
Smiles up at me while she plays
A man I loved
Has never heard of Ruby`s place
When he holds her with affection
And he uses that old expression

[Chorus]
