In the Shade of the New Apple Tree

Underneath that shady apple tree

You recall a picture dear to me

Though your dress is another's

But your smile is still your mother's

In the shade of the new apple tree

Though you bob your head and show your knee

Though the world is new and fancy-free

That same moon's above you

And the words are still "I love you"

In the shade of the new apple tree

Gone are all the bonnets and bows

That set one's heart aflame

Gone are the hoops and the bustles and the skirts

But a kiss is still the same

Hey, nonny, oh, fortunately

There'll always be you and me

In that shade of the new apple tree
