The Laughing Apple
Slowly let me tell you a story of a 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 forth to hire me
Well, I've traveled the mountains, and I've traveled the sea
But never in my traveling days have I ever seen a little apple smile at me
So laugh, laugh oh little apple
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful
And it will bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh oh little apple
Well all the apples were hidin'
Frightened that they might be plucked
And everytime that somebody passed
All except that one little apple ducked
Well, I've traveled the mountains, and I've traveled the sea
But never in my traveling days have I ever seen a little apple smile at me
Laugh, laugh oh little apple
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful
And it will bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh oh little apple
Laugh, laugh oh little apple
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful
And it will bring you down
If it ever sees you wearing a frown
So laugh, laugh oh little apple
