June Apples

County 701, Jenkins, Jarrell & Cockerham

Key <A>

I wish I was a June apple

Hanging on that tree

Every time my true love passed

She’d take a little bite of me

Going across the mountain

I’m going in the spring

It’s when I get on the other side

I’m gonna hear my woman sing

Can’t you hear that banjo sing

I wish that girl was mine

Don’t you hear that banjo sing

I wish that girl was mine

Charlie he’s a nice young man

Charlie he’s a dandy

Charlie he’s a nice young man

Feeds the girls on candy.

Over the river to feed my sheep

Over the river Charlie

It’s over the river to feed my sheep

Feed them on barley

I wish I had some sticks and poles

To build my chimney higher

Cos every time it rains and snows

It puts out all my fire
