HEMBREE MINERAL WELLS,TX. Beneath the apple tree When we set under the apple tree In days of long ago The birds and bees up in the trees They helped to make love grow You were neat and really sweet The apple of my eye And ever kiss my dear I miss Each day as time goes by I've held hands with others dear Since the days of you and me They can't compare, when you were there Beneath the apple tree As autumn years creep on my life My memories come to me With some so sweet I would repeat Beneath the apple tree If I should have one last request My darling that would be That I would lay with you to rest Beneath the apple tree H.J.Hembree Mineral Wells Tx.
