Apple of My Eye

Hair of Red
Eyes of blue
pray the words I've said 
say I love you

Apple of my eye
my pride and joy
hate to say bye
to my boy

If only I could stay
teach all I know
you will understand someday
why I have to go

Working men we are
unfortunate but true
careful of the bar
whatever you do
