Apples Raisins and Roses

(Earl Shuman - Leon Carr)



I'll bring some apples for Jenny

To match her cheeks so fair

And I'll swing her high if she starts to cry

And tell her there and there and there.



I'll bring some apples for Jenny

I'll bring some raisins for Sandy to match the color of her eyes

And I'll kiss her brow, she's a woman now

Though it's hard to realize.



I'll bring some raisins for Sandy

And of course red roses for my Mary the kind she loves the best

When her warm eyes say I long with you stay

I'll answer till I'm put to rest.



I'll bring red roses for my Mary

When her warm eyes say I long with you stay

I'll answer till I'm put to rest...
