Apple Scrumpy(pumpy)

The 15 gallons of Old Grumble Belly are bubbling away happily in the cider shed after this years mammoth cider making day - we could have made 150 gallons but there's just not enough hours in the day.

We've also been getting a bit fruity with the tunes lately (see previous posts) and Carl feels we should have a cider song for the set (but not that one!), so here goes... Apple Scrumpy
Apple Scrumpy (mp3)
Verse
G Sit beneath this apple tree C with me sweet Ida Red,
G Sit beneath this apple tree with D7 me sweet Lilibet,
G Sit beneath this apple tree and C drink some apple crush,
G Irish Peach, D7 my sweet Maiden's G Blush.
Chorus
D Lets make apple scrumpy, G lets make love tonight,
D lets make apple scrumpy, G till the morning light
D Lets make apple scrumpy, G right here on the ground,
D Take a swig, feels alright, take you time, it'll last all night.

  1. Innuendo -the image of squashing apples to make cider and making the "dance with no pants"is quite cute-I've got loads of windfall apples in the garden....mmmm...
