Do You Love an Apple? - 10,000 Maniacs

Do you love an apple?

Do you love a pear?

Do you love a laddie with bonnie brown hair?

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes

He works at the pier for nine bob a week

Come Saturday night, he comes rolling home drunk

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes

He stood at the corner, a fag in his mouth

Two hands in his pockets, he whistled me out

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes

Before I got married I wore a black shawl

But since I got married I wore coveralls

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes

Before I got married I’d sport and I’d play

But now, the cradle, it gets in me way

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes

Do you love an apple?

Do you love a pear?

Do you love a laddie with bonnie brown hair?

But still I love him, I can’t deny him

I’ll be with him wherever he goes
