Bake-Apple Time In Newfoundland

G C G On the twentieth day of June on a Sunday afternoon, D While I sit and wonder how I'll spend my time; G C G As I sit here in jail with a wash pan and a pail, D G I could use them both - it's bake-apple picking time. C Oh, when it's bake-apple time in Newfoundland, G As you drive along the road, D And the little ones running freely to and fro; G All the girls are having fun C G as they pick them one-by-one, D It's the only place where G the bake-apple berries grow. I've been down to Annapolis Valley, C G I've picked apples from the trees, D I've seen the oranges down California way; G And in every grocery store C G you can buy them by the score, D G But the bake-apple only grows in Newfoundland. C Oh, when it's bake-apple time in Newfoundland, G As you drive along the road, D And the little ones running freely to and fro; G All the girls are having fun C G as they pick them one-by-one, D It's the only place where G the bake-apple berries grow. Now we lost our Union Jack C G and we'll never get it back, D Some say this new one's just a piece of rag; G C G But if I had my say and designed it my own way, D G I'd paint the bake-apple on the Newfie flag. C Oh, when it's bake-apple time in Newfoundland, G As you drive along the road, D And the little ones running freely to and fro; G All the girls are having fun C G as they pick them one-by-one, D It's the only place where G the bake-apple berries grow. C D G Yes it's the only place where the bake-apple berries grow D G
