Apple Circle Songs

Up in the Green Orchard

Up in the green orchard there stands a great tree

The finest of apples you ever did see

The apples are ripe and ready to fall

And here is a basket to gather them all

Tra, la, la, la la la la la la la (2x)

Here is my trunk, I’m a tall, tall tree

In the summer the apples grow on me

They drop, they drop

Here is my trunk, I’m a tall tall tree

In the fall the breezes blow through me

I sway, I sway

Here is my trunk, I’m a tall tall tree

In the winter the raindrops fall on me

I glisten, I glisten

Here is my trunk, I’m a tall tall tree

In the spring the blossoms grow on me

They open, they open

Here is my trunk, I’m a tall, tall tree

In the summer the apples grow on me

They drop, they drop

Up in the Green Orchard ~

Up in the green orchard, there stands a great tree

The finest of apples you ever did see

The apples are ripe and ready to fall

And here is a basket to gather them all

Tra, la, la, la la la la la la la

My Nice Red Rosy Apple

My nice red rosy apple

Has a secret all unseen

You can see if you can look inside five rooms so clean

In each room there is sleeping a pip so black and bright

Asleep they are and dreaming of lovely warm sunlight

And sometimes they are dreaming

Of lovely things to be

How soon they will be hanging upon a festive tree
