watching the apples grow

it's early up

ontario farm

chicken crow for day

i wish i grew annapolis apples

up above fundy's bay

oh

it seems so far away

on the ridge above acadia's town

to the valley down below

the evening shadow falls upon the families

listening to the radio

and watching the apples grow

down on the farm

back among the family

away from ontario

hear the ladies singing to the men

dancing in the heel and toe

and watching the apples grow

ontario

you know i've seen

a place i'd rather be

your scummy lakes and your city of toronto

don't do a damn thing for me

i'd rather live by the sea

i'd watch the v's of geese go by

the foxfoot in the snow

i'd climb the ridge of gaspereau mountain

look into the valley below

and watching the apples grow

down on the farm

back among the family

away from ontario

hear the ladies singing to the men

dancing in the heel and toe

and watching the apples grow

down on the farm

back among the family

away from ontario

hear the ladies singing to the men

dancing in the heel and toe

and watching the apples grow

down on the farm

back among the family

away from ontario

oh

oh!

hear the ladies singing to the men

dancing in the heel and toe

and watching the apples grow
