Wheres the queen of my parade? She aint coming back Only thing she left me is This appleblossom rag Oh, the appleblossom rag Oh, such sweet refrain And underneath the chords, the thorns That cause such awful pain This new gangs the gang for me Always on the town Oh, the stories I could tell If I felt like it now This new gangs the gang for me I know all of their names And they know mine and them that dont They love me just the same Oh, the appleblossom rag Oh, for such a knife That from my blood could love unbraid Without taking my life This new girls the girl for me Best girl that I know Never asks me where Ive been Or when Im coming home This new girls got a real fork tongue I love the way she lies A false, young, painted devil But I know, so its all right Oh, that appleblossom rag Lord, Im such a fool For things that sing so sweet and sad And are so goddamn cruel Oh, the appleblossom rag Lord, Im such a fool For things that sing so sweet and sad And are so goddamn cruel
