Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) Don't pick the apples,
don't pick the peaches,
You leave the maggots, just be. (G major)
Don't pick the cherries,
or those other berries,
You find on the (E minor) admiral's (C major) tree.
Fruits that are fresh
are the best of the bunch,
(A minor) But (C major) my unches,
these ones (A minor) are not (G major) so.
Summer will ripen (D major) the (G major) fruits
you delighten,
But quickly the (E minor) mag got (G major) s do (E minor) grow. (C major)
Take (F major) them down, (C major) wash them down,
By whopping (F major) old stairs one,
two (G major) an d three.
Hang (E minor) them (C major) to dry by the old riverside,
And (E minor) display them (C major) the be (G major) st they can (C major) be.
There (E minor) is no cellar (C major) and
there is no season
Though (A minor) some (E minor) (C major) you might
find on a (G major) cart
No (E minor) (G major) fortune teller need
tell you the reason
They stiffen right (E minor) up very fast (C major)
Most of the town will turn (E minor) out
for (C major) the har (A minor) vest
(C major) Something they all want to (G major) see
They gather around to see fruit falling down (E minor)
(G major) by (E minor) the (G major) hand of the (E minor) old admiral team (C major)
Take (F major) them down, (C major) wash them down
and (F major) whop in upstairs one, (C major) two, (G major) three
Tied (C major) in a sack you get no money back (E minor)
for the trouble (C major) that they (G major) took to (C major) reap
When all of the fruit has
been took from the orchard
(A minor) An d (C major) all of the branches are (E minor) bare
(G major) They'll be now to sell (E minor)
but you (G major) know very well
There will be one more (E minor) bas
ket somewhere (C major)
Fruits don't debate but
they do propagate
They will blossom where hard to be seen (G major)
Turn from a hunch, to a bud, to a (E minor) bunch
And these (G major) baskets will (E minor) pick
you right clean
(C major) There'll be (F major) baskets here,
(C major) baskets there
Stacked (F major) to the gunwales and (B flat major) then (G major)
Never (C major) you fear, (B major) (C major) (B major) my (E minor) old buccan (C major) eer
(E minor) Will (E major) be (E minor) open (C major) for business (G major) again
(C major) Open (A minor) (F major) for busi (G major) ness (E minor) (G major) again
(C major) Open (A minor) (F major) for busi (C major) ness (G major) again (C major)
