Apple Tree of Mine

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me the fruit that you sire,
For many a tasty dinner I desire,

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me your leaves,
Build me a kite to fly in the breeze,

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me your branches,
For sailing I shall go,
With your wood as the mast-es,

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me your boughs,
Split them and tie them,
And build me a house,

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me your roots,
A child's cradle and a small pair of boots,

Apple tree, Apple tree,
Lend me your ground,
I feel my time is up,
And no grave have I found,

To lay in while I leave this earth behind,
Thank you, o, thank you,
Apple Tree of Mine
