Lyrics
When the snake tempted Eve in the garden,
She was drinkin’ plain rain from a mug.
And he said, “Lady, ma’am, I beg pardon,
Would you try this here juice from my jug?”

CHORUS
It was apple, apple, apple,
It was apple, apple, apple, jack.
Oh, once you reach out for that poison,
The devil’s on your track.

Now she had no suspicion of reptiles,
So she thanked him and took a small sup,
And it goes down so fine when you’re thirsty,
She hangs on and tips the jug up.

CHORUS

What is this sweet nectar you bring me,
So sweet that I can’t give it back?
“It’s just nothin’ but apple,” says Satan,
“It’s just nothin’ but plain apple jack.”

CHORUS

Then this Eve run to Adam a-kitin’,
Saying, “Please taste this drink without fear.”
And he answered, “I’m not very thirsty
But I’ll drink it because you’re my dear.”

CHORUS
