Thread Name: Lyr Add: Shade of the Old Apple Tree (parody)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Shade of the Old Apple Tree (parody)
This is the only parody of "In the Shade Of The Old Apple Tree" that I know, and I use it every year for Mother's Day:
In the shade of the old apple tree,
Where my mother came looking for me,
With a handful of switches
She took down my britches,
And oh, how she gave it to me!
Well, I don't quite remember my sin,
But I'm sure that I did it again,
The outcome of which is,
Mama cut lots of switches
In the shade of that old apple tree.
(The first half I heard from someone. The second half I sort of made up/reconstructed from what little memory I had of the second half.)
