Josh Ritter - The Appleblossom Rag lyrics

Where's the queen of my parade? She ain't coming back. The only thing she left me is This appleblossom rag Oh, the appleblossom rag Oh, such sweet refrain Hid 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 them that don't All love me just the same. sponsored links 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. A false young painted devil But, I know so it's alright. Oh, that appleblossom rag Lord, I'm such a fool For things that sing so sweet and sad And are so goddamn cruel. Oh, the appleblossom rag Lord, I'm such a fool For things that sing so sweet and sad And are so goddamn cruel.
