10000 Maniacs – Do You Love An Apple? Lyrics

Do you love an apple? Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie with bonnie brown hair?

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes

He works at the pier for nine bob a week
Come Saturday night, he comes rolling home drunk

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes

He stood at the corner, a fag in his mouth
Two hands in his pockets, he whistled me out

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes

Before I got married I wore a black shawl
But since I got married I wore coveralls

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes

Before I got married I'd sport and I'd play
But now, the cradle, it gets in me way

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes

Do you love an apple? Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie with bonnie brown hair?

But still I love him, I can't deny him
I'll be with him wherever he goes
