Thread Name: Lyric meaning: Red Apple Juice
Subject: Lyr Add: RED APPLE JUICE
Here are some lyrics for Red Apple Juice:

Ain't got no use for your red apple juice.
Ain't got no honey baby now,
Ain't got no honey baby now.

CHORUS: Who'll rock the cradle, And who'll sing the song.
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone,
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone.

Ain't got no use for your red rocking chair
Ain't got no honey baby there,
Ain't got no honey baby there.

Done all I can do to try to live with you,
Send you back to your mama next pay day,
Send you back to your mama next pay day.

Gave her all I made then I laid her in the shade.
What more can a poor boy do?
What more can a poor boy do?

Realizing that some of these are floating lyrics, does anyone want to give their opinion of what this song is about?

What does red apple juice mean in the first verse?

How about "rock the cradle" or "laid her in the shade" ?

Anyone?
