Subject: Apple Tree Lyrics Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 22:28:57 +0100 From "Grant Curley" To: As your site has just allowed me to find the lyrics to 2 Gram songs (Older Guys and Sweet Mental Revenge) for my own website dedicated to Sid Griffin and the fanzine I produce about him (www.curley37.freeserve.co.uk) I thought I had better return the compliment and send the lyrics to Apple Tree. The website's pretty basic at the moment, but I am in the process of re-building it. Sid Griffin (ex-Long Ryders, currently in the Coal Porters and Westen Electric) recorded a version of Apple Tree on The Coal Porters album Los London back in 1994 and I have transcribed the lyics from that version of the song. Thanks again for your lyric page - here's what I have: Apple Tree Written by Gram Parsons I used to sit in a big apple tree Welcome the sun as he shone down on me Watch the fruit ripen, smell the land grow Felt the fall rains get colder and turn into snow. And then in the summer, I'd walk through the trees Roll up my trousers way over my knees Waded a stream 'til the rocks hurt my feet The water was cool and the summer was sweet. Autumn got lonely when harvest came 'round Green leaves turned golden and fell to the ground Clear nights got colder, with the stars bright above And in the winter, I first fell in love. She loved me truly 'til winter passed by Left without warning and never said why Maybe she's lonely, needs me somewhere Maybe by summer I won't even care. © Gram Parsons Published by Island Music Ltd/EMI Songs Take care - all the best, Grant ------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Grant!!!!!!
