[Verse 1]
            
Once in a summ

          
ertime garden 

            
lived a little

        
 apple tree
             
And the man wh

             
o owned it wan

            
ted it to be p

icked
             
And so he sent

             
 forth to hire

But a never in

Frightened tha
