In the region where the roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own,
For, I know my love for her will never die;
When the sun am sinking in dat Golden West,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
And I sneak down to dat place I love the best,
Ever'y evening there along I sigh.
Chorus: Ida! Sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know,
Come out! In the silv'ry moonlight,
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and low!
Seems as tho' can't live without you,
Listen, please, honey do!
Ida! I idolize yer
I love you, Ida, 'deed I do.
The sweetest girl I ever saw
Sat sucking cider through a straw
Fair maid, said I, you implore,
Why suck your cider through a straw?
She said to me, There is no law
'Gainst sucking cider through a straw
So cheek by cheek and jaw by jaw
We both sucked cider through a straw
And now I've got a Ma-in-law
Through sucking cider through a straw
"This tastes like Vermont!"
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, especially if you have good aim!
Even if I knew that tomorrow the world
would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
In a good play, every speech should
be as fully flavored as a nut or apple.
I'm not smart, but I like to observe.
Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who
asked why.
And there never was an apple, in Adam's
opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for
eating it.
'Comfort me with apples'
Now in the autumn of my years
Lay up a storehouse against
The deprivations of my final days
For winter is before me
And the cold will surely come
Apple pie without the cheese
Is like a hug without the squeeze!
Ever since Eve gave Adam the apple,
there has been a misunderstanding between the sexes about
gifts.
"Your guys'es (sic) cider is the
best!"
