Chris Seymour lyr/Origin: June Apple (20) Lyr Add: TRAIN ON THE ISLAND 13 Apr 00


Joe Hickerson recorded some words to the tune of June Apple under the name "Train on the Island." I like many of them and have sort of mushed them into the June Apple words I know and call the resulting song, half jokingly, "Train on the Apple."

Train on the island
Hear the whistle blow
Go and tell my true love
I'm sick and I can't go

Train on the island
Listen to it squeal
Go and tell my truelove
How happy I do feel

Show me the crow that flies so high
Show me the one that falls
If I can't get the gal I love
I don't want none at all

Bring me a glass of water
Bring it in a cup
Me and my love, we fell out
Ain't never gonna make up

The band I play with does that with fiddle, banjo and singing-- sounds great
