'''JUNE APPLE [1]'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Virginia. A Mixolydian. Standard or AEae (Tommy Jarrell) tunings (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (most versions). A June apple is an early ripening variety of apple, maturing in the spring in the southern United States. It tends to be smaller and more tart then later-ripening apples. Most versions of the tune are in the mixolydian mode, although Benton Flippen (b. 1920, Surry Country, N.C.) plays it in A major. The late Mt. Airy, North Carolina, fiddler Tommy Jarrell [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Jarrell] (1901-1985) sang these words to the 'B' part:

JUNE APPLE [1]. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Virginia. A Mixolydian. Standard or AEae (Tommy Jarrell) tunings (fiddle). AB (Silberberg): AABB (most versions). A June apple is an early ripening variety of apple, maturing in the spring in the southern United States. It tends to be smaller and more tart then later-ripening apples. Most versions of the tune are in the mixolydian mode, although Benton Flippen (b. 1920, Surry Country, N.C.) plays it in A major. The late Mt. Airy, North Carolina, fiddler Tommy Jarrell [1] (1901-1985) sang these words to the second strain:

Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham

Wish I was a June Apple
Hanging on a tree
Every time my true love passed
She'd take a little bite of me

Going across the mountain
I'm Going in a swing
When I get on the other side
I'm gonna hear my woman sing

Don't you hear that banjo saying
I wish that gal was mine
Can't you hear that banjo saying
I wish that gal was mine

Charlie he's a nice young man
Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's a nice young
He feeds the gals on candy

Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
Feed them on barley

Wish I had some sticks and poles
Build my chimney higher
Ever time it rains or snows
Puts out all my fire

Joel Shimberg points out that the lyrics to "Train on the Island" scan for the "June Apple" melody and are sometimes sung to it as 'floating verses.'
