T (con’t)
The girl drew back in great surprise
"You're a stranger, sir" said she
"And I will give you just one kiss
"When the apples grow on a lilac tree."
The boy was very sad at heart
She was the only one
The girl was quite remorseful
At the terrible thing she had done
So bright and early on the very next morn
He was quite surprised to see
His little sweetheart standing in the garden
Tying apples on the lilac tree.
From: Anne E, version 2
There was a request for the words to the song about tying apples on a lilac tree. I can give the words as I heard them sung, but I do not know the author or compose.
A little boy and a little girl, in an ecstasy of bliss;
Said the little boy to the little girl, "Pray, give me just one kiss."
The girl drew back in great surprise; "You're a stranger, sir," said she,
"And I will give you just one kiss when apples grow on a lilac tree."
The boy felt very sad at heart; she was the only one.
And the girl felt quite remorseful at the terrible wrong she'd done.
So bright and early on the very next morn, he was quite surprised to see
His little sweetheart standing in the garden,
Tying apples on a lilac tree.
