Watching The Apples Grow

[Verse 1] It's early up, Ontario farm Chicken crow for day I wish I grew Annapolis apples Up above Fundy's 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 families Listening to the radio And watching the apples grow [Chorus] Down on the farm Back among the family Away from Ontario Hear the ladies singing to the men Dancing in the heel and toe And watching the apples grow [Verse 2] Ontario, you know I've seen A place I'd rather be Your scummy lakes and your city of Toronto Don't do a damn thing for me I'd rather live by the sea I'd watch the V's of geese go by The foxfoot in the snow I'd climb the ridge of Gaspereau Mountain Look into the valley below And watching the apples grow [Chorus] Down on the farm Back among the family Away from Ontario Hear the ladies singing to the men Dancing in the heel and toe And watching the apples grow [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Down on the farm Back among the family Away from Ontario Hear the ladies singing to the men Dancing in the heel and toe And watching the apples grow Down on the farm Back among the family Away from Ontario, oh, oh! Hear the ladies singing to the men Dancing in the heel and toe And watching the apples grow
