Cat Stevens - The Laughing Apple lyrics

rate me

Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree

an apple tree,

Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree

and the man who owned it wanted it to be picked

so he sent forth to hire me

Well, I've travelled the mountains, and I've travelled the sea

but a never in my travelling days

have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!

Laugh, oh laugh a little apple

Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful,

For it will bring you down

if it ever sees you wearing a frown

so laugh, laugh a little apple

Well all the apples were hidin'

Frightened that they might be plucked

and everytime that somebody passed

all except that one little apple ducked

Well, I've travelled the mountains, and i've travelled the sea

but a never in my travelling days

have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!

Laugh, oh laugh a little apple

Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful,

For it will bring you down

if it ever sees you wearing a frown

so laugh, laugh a little apple
