Lyrics for Apple Suckling Tree

Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Underneath that tree There's just gonna be you and me Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Pull man down on a county hook, my man Pull man down like a county hook, my man Pull man down in a county hook Line up Tammy, y'all take a look Pull him down in a county hook, my man Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Underneath that tree There's just gonna be you and me Underneath that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Now I wish to my soul I had seven years, uh-huh Now I wish to my soul I had seven years, uh-huh Hey, if I fall on your buryin' ground I don't catch your name, but he had a hound Right on down there on the avenue, oh yeah Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Underneath that tree There's just gonna be you and me Underneath that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Under that apple suckling tree, oh yeah! Underneath that tree There's just gonna be you and me Underneath that apple suckling tree, oh yeah!
