GUEST,bluegrass ancient Lyric meaning: Red Apple Juice (30) RE: Lyric meaning: Red Apple Juice 26 Jul 19


Putting it together, "red rocking chair" makes most sense when meaning her vulva, the "juice" her sex fluids, with repeated "red" filling the musical void "no use for your ____apple juice". Squeeze a red apple you get sweet amber juice so the red might remind one of sex during a period.   I doubt the prostitute bit despite the "dime", because he threatens sending her back to her mamma next time he gets the money, wouldn't do so with a prostitute. "Dime" probably just refers to his bitterness of supporting her while she's abandoning him and their baby, since the words "sing the song" probably means a lullaby. Bitter, dark. Angry A men-only song, hard to understand covers by women singers. Bray-Cravens 1962 version might be the best in Em and G which give a proper creepy touch.
