Old Mother Eve Songtext
von Emily Portman

The apple tree stood in the garden
Its blossoms as white as the snow
And there in the cool of the evening
Adam and Eve they did go

For Old Mother Eve she liked apples
And Adam he liked them too
He liked them too
He liked them too

The Serpent he hid in the garden
Entwined all about the tree
"You never did eat such a wonderful meat
And honey so sweet," said he


For Old Mother Eve she liked apples
And Adam he liked them too
He liked them too
He liked them too

They turned them both out of the garden
Turned out with a fiery key
But Adam and Eve they rolled up their sleeves
And planted an apple tree
Planted an apple tree

There are apple trees out in the garden
And orchards in valleys below
In autumn and spring, the apple is king
And we bless it wherever we go

For Old Mother Eve she liked apples
And Adam he liked them too
He liked them too
He liked them too

For Old Mother Eve she liked apples
And Adam he liked them too
