He lived by the apple orchard in this little old orchard shack

His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him "Applejack"

Now old Applejack was loved by everyone he ever knew

Applejack picked apples but he picked the banjo, too

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song for me and I'll sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Now, I'd go down to Applejack's almost every day

And we'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Applejack had made

Then he'd take his banjo down, then he'd ask me if I'd sing

And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song for me and I'll sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Play one, Applejack

That's when I was just a kid and now that I am grown

All I have are memories, old Applejack is gone

Oh, but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back

And every time I play, I still hear Applejack

Everybody sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song for me and I'll sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Oh, play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song for me and I'll sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

One more time

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song for me and I'll sing

Play a song for me, Applejack, Applejack

Play a song, let your banjo ring
