He lived by the apple orchard in this little 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 everyday 
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 

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 everytime I play it I still hear AppleJack 

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 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 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
