Apple Suckling Tree Lyrics
Down there
Old man down is baitin' a hook
On there
Gonna pull man down on a suckling hook
Gonna pull man into the suckling brook
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Under that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
That's underneath that tree
There's gonna be just you and me
Underneath that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Then I hush my Sadie and stand in line
Oh yeah!
Then I hush my Sadie and stand in line
I get on board in two-eyed time
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Under that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Underneath that tree
There's just gonna be you and me
Underneath that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
Who's on the table, who's to tell me?
Oh yeah!
Who should I tell, oh, who should I tell?
The forty-nine of you like bats out of hell
Oh underneath that old apple suckling tree
good song good album
The keyboard on this song is something special.
The organ playing on this son is so very very cool!
hm the version i have has different lyrics. still, the rhythm in this song is bangin' !
Old man down like a county hook??
I have no idea, what "a county hook" is. Could somebody explain me?
This song is pure joy. Like many of the Basement Tapes songs, it has this improvisational- jam quality about it. Almost like it evolved without too much pre-planning. I don\'t know obviously, but maybe the lyrics don\'t entirely make sense because they were never really meant to. All I do know, it a that a small, heavily foliaged, apple blossom tree could prove to be a very private place for a couple of lovers. Regardless, this one is an oft-overlooked gem in the Dylan catalog.
