The Appleblossom Rag
Josh Ritter
Letra

Where's the queen of my parade?
She ain't coming back
Only thing she left me is this
Appleblossom rag

Oh, the appleblossom rag
Oh, such sweet refrain
And underneath the chords the thorns
That cause such awful pain

This new gang's the gang for me
Always on the town
Oh, the stories I could tell
If I felt like it now

This new gang's the gang for me
I know all of their names
And they know mine and then they don't
They love me just the same

Oh, the appleblossom rag
Oh, for such a knife
That from my blood could love unbraid
Without taking my life

This new girl's the girl for me
Best girl that I know
Never asks me where I've been
Or when I'm coming home

This new girl's got a real fork tongue
I love the way she lies
False young painted devil
But I know so it's alright

Oh, the appleblossom rag
Lord I'm such a fool
For things that seem so sweet and sad
And are so goddamn cruel

Oh, the appleblossom rag
Lord I'm such a fool
For things that seem so sweet and sad
And are so goddamn cruel
