Watching The Apples Grow

Seq & Kar By Scott (Dodger) Morrow

Its early up Ontario farm,
Chicken crow for days.
I wish I grew Annapolis apples
Up around Fundy Bay
Oh it seems so far away.

On the ridge above Acadia's town
To the valley down below
The evening shadow falls upon the family
Listening to the radio
And watching the apples grow.

Down on the farm, back among the family
Away from Ontario
Hear the ladies singing to the men,
Dancing it heel and toe
And watching the apples grow.

Ontario, y'know I've seen
A place I'd rather be
Your scummy lakes and the City of Toronto
Don't do a damn thing for me.
I'd rather live by the sea

I've watched the V's of geese go by,
The fox foot in the snow
I've climbed the ridge of Gaspereaux Mountain,
Looked into the valley below.
And watching the apples grow.

Down on the farm, back among the family
Away from Ontario
Hear the ladies singing to the men,
Dancing it heel and toe
And watching the apples grow.

Down on the farm, back among the family
Away from Ontario
Hear the ladies singing to the men,
Dancing it heel and toe
And watching the apples grow.
