Apple Blossom Lyrics:
Hey, little apple blossom
What seems to be the problem?
All the ones you tell your troubles to
They don't really care for you
Come and tell me what you're thinking
'Cause just when the boat is sinking
A little light is blinking
And I will come and rescue you
Lots of girls walk around in tears
But that's not for you
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to
Come and sit with me and talk awhile
Let me see your pretty little smile
Put your troubles in a little pile
And I will sort 'em out for you
Lots of girls walk around in tears
But that's not for you
You've been looking all around for years
For someone to tell your troubles to
Come and sit with me and talk awhile
Let me see your pretty little smile
Put your troubles in a little pile
And I will sort them out for you
I'll fall in love with you
I think I'll marry you
Death Letter Lyrics:
I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said, "The gal you love is dead."
I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
Said, "Hurry, hurry because the gal you love is dead."
Well, I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board
I packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there, she was laying on the cooling board
It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burying ground
I didn't know I loved her, 'til they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burying ground
I didn't know that I loved her, 'til they began to let her down
You know, it's so hard to love someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction, don't care what you do
So hard to love someone that don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction and I don't care what you do
Well, I got up this morning, the break of day
Just hugging the pillows where she used to lay
Got up this morning, would you believe?
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows where my baby used to lay
