The Laughing Apple – Yusuf

Slowly
Let me tell you a story
Lover tree
An apple tree

Once in a summertime garden
Lived a little apple tree
And the man who owned it
Wanted it to be picked
And so he sent for to hire me

Well I’ve travelled the mountains
And I’ve travelled the sea
But never in my travelling days
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me

So laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it’ll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple

Well all the apples were hiding
Frightened that they might be plucked
And every time somebody passed
All except that one little apple ducked

Well I’ve travelled the mountains
And I’ve travelled the sea
But never in my travelling days
Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me

Laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it’ll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple
Laugh, laugh a little apple
Autumn is waiting
You better be careful
And it’ll bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh a little apple
