APPLE PICKER'S REEL

(by Larry Hanks)


	Hey, ho, makes you feel so fine
	Looking out across the orchard in the bright sunshine.
	Hey, ho, makes you feel so free
	Standing in the top of an apple tree.

Up in the morning before the sun
I don't get home until the day is done;
My pick-sack's heavy and my shoulder's sore
But I'll be back tomorrow to pick some more.

	Hey, ho, ...

Start at the bottom and you pick 'em from the ground
And you pick the tree clean all the way around;
Then you set up your ladder and you climb up high
And you're looking through the leaves at the clear blue sky.

	Hey, ho, ...

Three-legged ladder, wobbly as hell
Reaching for an apple---whoa!---I almost fell.
Got a twenty-pound sack hanging 'round my neck
And there's three more apples that I can't quite get.

	Hey, ho, ...

They come in yellow and green and red
You eat them in the morning and before you go to bed
Sometimes you might throw one way up high
Whoops... squish... apple pie!

	Hey, ho, ...

Hey, ho, makes you feel so funny
When you're walking through the town and you got no money
Hey, ho, you feel so free
Standing in the top of an apple tree.

Hey, ho, makes you feel so down
Picking up windfalls, crawling on the ground.
Hey, ho, you feel so free
Standing in the top of an apple tree.

	Hey, ho, ...

Hey, ho, you lose your mind
If you sing this song about a hundred times;
Hey, ho, you feel so free
Standing in the top of an apple tree.

	Hey, ho, ...
