Lyrics for Market Song

As I walk out to the market Each day I can hear them cry Sweet apples, sweet oranges Sweet apples, sweet oranges Fresh, fresh for sale for you, oh today Come and buy them, sweet apples, sweet oranges All alone I walk with no one Beside me, what should I buy? Sweet apples, sweet oranges Sweet apples, sweet oranges Walking through the stalls, I am amazed by them all Come and buy them, sweet apples, sweet oranges Like a child my mind does wander Far from here across the sea And the sweet apples, sweet oranges Sweet apples, sweet oranges I hear, I hear the cries of the beggar who lies Try sweet apples, sweet oranges, come and buy them Through the forest I can see them Hanging there so ripe and red Sweet apples, sweet oranges Sweet apples, sweet oranges Get off, get off my land You know that it don't belong to you Got to buy them, sweet apples, sweet oranges Sweet apples, sweet oranges
