Mungo Jerry - The Old Apple Tree Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] [Verse] I once met a girl by the old apple tree I smiled at her and she smiled back at me I asked her to walk with me along the beach I took her arm as we strolled by the sea I smiled at her and she smile back at me [Verse 2] She told me her father did live by the gun And if he saw me she said I should run I saw him comin as I turned around So I ran away to the heart of the town And bought me a gun to shoot that man down [Verse 3] Late in the night by the old apple tree I met that girl and she promised to me That she’d always love till her dyin’ day I truly believed every word she would say I held her tightly then she walked away [Solo] [Verse 4] I knew that her father had spoken bout me And his daughter’s wishes he could not agree He came after me cause he wanted me dead So I pulled out my pistol and blew off his head He lay on the ground and I filled him with lead [Verse 5] The neighbors heard gunshot a-rain in the night When they came and got me I put up no fight I could have been hung from the old apple tree It was self-defense so it never would be So I beat the noose and I walked away free [Verse 6] I’m still around and my girl’s by my side I beat the noose it’s not time yet to die And what a bright mornin’ light shines down on me My girl she will marry yes marry me We’ll live in the house by the old apple tree

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui rencontre une fille près d'un vieux pommier. Ils passent un moment agréable ensemble, mais cela prend une tournure tragique lorsque le père de la fille, qui semble être un homme violent, le menace. Pour échapper à cette situation interne, il se retrouve impliqué dans un acte défensif qui mène à la mort du père. Malgré cette épreuve, le narrateur reste avec la fille qu’il aime et envisage un avenir ensemble, rêvant d'une vie paisible près de cet arbre. Le contexte évoque une ambiance de jeunesse et d'amour, mais teintée de violence et de conflit familial. On ressent un mélange de tendresse et d'adrénaline, où le romantisme est omniprésent malgré la gravité de la situation.
