born in april



by horace p sternwall



adam had an apple
harry had a horse
they sailed down the river
but drifted off course

they came to a city
paved with gold
with the treasures of the earth
but they had all been sold

they woke up in the morning
it was only a dream
they washed their hands
in a muddy stream

i was born in april
and hanged in may
bad companions
led me astray

all you rounders
listen to my tale
steal an apple from a tree
but don’t rob the mail
