The last verse is; They put the apples in a basket cut the tree down for a casket now my poor pappy lies in the tree (chorus) Say goodbye. Say goodbye Say goodbye to the ol' apple tree Had my pappy ever know'd it He'd a never, never grow'd it For he died on the old apple tree. ...learned that from my dad back in the early 40's. It was fun times; all of us singin' that song together. I don't think that happens much anymore.....too bad. Can you imagine an audience in a movie theater today all singing along to the bouncing ball?!
