Cider with Rosie

take off your shoe
you won’t listen to
the words i got for you babe
coming home
weeks out on the roam
or just a few days

rosie i purchased a fine apple tree
and i’ll plant it in the yard
and the ground is kind of hard
but just supposing you settle down with me right here
well i’ll shake those apples free
and i’ll drink cider with thee

i stole a mill
farm out by the hill
he doesn’t use it
you complain
darkness in my brain
but i didn’t choose it

i found a press
out there to the west
someone just left it
summer come
guess you will be gone
cos no one blessed it

rosie i purchased a fine apple tree
and i’ll plant it in the yard
and the ground is kind of hard
but just supposing
you settle down with me right here
well i’ll shake those apples free
and i’ll drink cider with thee

well i tried to buy a ring
and i’d put it on your finger for all men to see
but i can’t pay that fee

and i tried to buy a car
and i’d drive it to some bar and take you home with me
but that’s too much for me

rosie i purchased a fine apple tree
and i’ll plant it in the yard
and the ground is kind of hard
but just supposing
you settle down with me right here
well i’ll shake those apples free
and i’ll drink cider with thee
i’ll drink cider with
i’ll drink cider with thee
