I once met a girl by the old apple tree

I smiled at her and she smiled back at me
C F C
I asked her to walk with me along the beach
G C G Am
I took her arm as we strolled by the sea
F C G C
I smiled at her and she smile back at me
C F C
She told me her father did live by the gun
C F C
And if he saw me she said I should run
C F C
I saw him comin as I turned around
G C G Am
So I ran away to the heart of the town
F C G C
And bought me a gun to shoot that man down
C F C
Late in the night by the old apple tree
C F C
I met that girl and she promised to me
C F C
That she'd always love till her dyin' day
G C G Am
I truly believed every word she would say
F C G C
I held her tightly then she walked away

I knew that her father had spoken bout me

And his daughter's wishes he could not agree
C F C
He came after me cause he wanted me dead
G C G Am
So I pulled out my pistol and blew off his head
F C G C
He lay on the ground and I filled him with lead
C F C
The neighbors heard gunshot a-rain in the night
C F C
When they came and got me, I put up no fight
C F C
I could have been hung from the old apple tree
G C G Am
It was self-defense, so it never would be
F C G C
So I beat the noose and I walked away free
C F C
I'm still around and my girl's by my side

I beat the noose, it's not time yet to die
C F C
And what a bright mornin', light shines down on me
G C G Am
My girl, she will marry, yes, marry me

We'll live in the house by the old apple tree
