Re: Under the tree?
Norm, Toby, Marv and List-
Marv was right all along. The song he was thinking of is "In The Shade of
the Old Apple Tree."
There is also a WWII song called Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree.
A third song is "The Old Apple Tree in the Orchard," by Guy Lombardo I
believe, which has these memorable lines:
Now my pore pappy lies in the orchard
Outa his mi-isery.
They put the apples in a basket,
Cut the tree down for a casket,
And my pore pappy's gone with the tree.
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye
Say Goodbye to the old apple tree.
If my Pappy hadda know'd it
He'd been sorry that he grow'd it
'Cause he died on the old apple tree.
Don't sit under that one.
