"Wiglaf's Orchard"


By Jonathan Feist. This song is based on the varieties of apple trees in our backyard, planted in Wiglaf's memory.
 

Lyrics:


Red Astrachen, Gravenstein, Cox's Orange Pippen, Sops of Wine

Northern Spy, Jonathan, Lady, Winesap, Baldwin

Wiglaf's nine apple trees.
 

Red Astrachen, Gravenstein, Cox's Orange Pippen, Sops of Wine

Northern Spy, Jonathan, Lady, Winesap, Baldwin

Wiglaf's nine.
 

Red Astrachen, the Shakers blended in their sauce and pie.

Gravenstein ferments so clean in cider and in wine.
 

Cox's Orange Pippen is delicious just to eat.

Sops of Wine's medieval, just like Wiglaf at its feet.
 

Northern Spy in apple pie, and Jonathan--that's me!

Ladies home in ancient Rome had apples up their sleeves.
 

Winesap is biennial, I miss them in between.

Baldwin was most popular until 1918.
 

So it's Red Astrachen, Gravenstein, Cox's Orange Pippen, Sops of Wine

Northern Spy, Jonathan, Lady, Winesap, Baldwin

Wiglaf's nine.
