~~~~~~okay. sorry. after further review...it seems
that this is an old folk song? that rick ripped off???
several versions are on the web sung by men, sung by
women. one is called 'old joe clark' and doesn't
reference old cindy, but has the 'apple hanging in an
tree/bite out of me' deal going on.
okay. gotta love the old folk/bluegrass thing.
kids records. who knew what a wealth of history they
had/have.
anyone know the story behind john jacob jingleheimer
schmidt? :)
