D G D
He lived by the apple orchard in this little old orchard shack
D G A
His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him Applejack
D G D
Now old Applejack was loved by everyone he ever knew
D A D
Applejack picked apples but he picked the banjo too.
[Chorus]
D G D
Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack
D A
Play a song for me and I'll sing
D G D
Play a song for me Applejack, Applejack
D A D
Play a song, let your banjo ring.
D G D
Now I'd go down to Applejack's almost everyday
D G A
We'd sit and we'd drink applejack that old Applejack had made
D G D
Then he'd take his banjo down then he'd ask me if I'd sing
D A D
And he would play the banjo and I'd play my tambourine.
[Kembali ke Chorus]

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

All I have are memories, old Applejack is gone

And everytime I play it, I still hear Applejack.
Everybody sing!
