Do You Love an Apple?
Folk Song
Do you love an apple,
Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie
with curly brown hair?
(Chorus)
Oh but still, I love him,
I can't deny him,
I will go with him
Wherever he goes.
Before I got married
I wore a black shawl,
But now that I'm married
I wear bugger-all.
(Chorus)
He stood at the corner,
A fag in his mouth
Two hands in his pockets,
He whistled me out.
(Chorus)
He works at the pier
For nine pounds a week,
On Saturday night
He comes rolling home drunk.
(Chorus)
Before I got married
I'd sport and I'd play,
But now the cradle
It gets in me way.
(Chorus)
Do you love an apple,
Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie
with curly brown hair?
(Chorus)
Thanks!
Thanks!
