美國鄉村樂波霸巨星［桃莉．芭頓］──傳統鄉村曲──輕快熱鬧的［Applejack／蘋果白蘭地］

He lived by the apple orchard in this little orchard shack

His real name was Jackson Taylor but I called him AppleJack

Now old AppleJack was loved by everyone he ever knew

AppleJack picked apples but he picked the banjo too

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song for me and Ill sing

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Now Id go down to AppleJacks almost everyday

Wed sit and wed drink applejack that old AppleJack had made

Then hed take his banjo down then hed ask me if Id sing

And he would play the banjo and Id play my tambourine

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song for me and Ill sing

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Thats when I was just a kid and now that I am grown

All I have are memories, old AppleJack is gone

Oh but he left me his banjo and it always takes me back

And everytime I play it I still hear AppleJack

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song for me and Ill sing

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song for me and Ill sing

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song for me and Ill sing

Play a song for me AppleJack, AppleJack

Play a song, let your banjo ring

１９７０年代中期　美國鄉村樂波霸巨星桃莉．芭頓（Dolly Parton）逐漸跨界向主流市場 希望拓展鄉寸界外的歌迷

１９７７年２月　３１歲的桃莉推出第十八張專輯［New Harvest…First Gathering］（RCA出版）

這是她首張獨力製作／編曲的大碟（Gregg Perry則是共同製作／Co-Producer）

也是第一張明確為打流行市場的作品

專輯推出後, 也獲得不錯評價

北美首支單曲為１９７７年３月２１日發行的［Light of a Clear Blue Morning］

３月２５日, 桃莉則推出歐洲首支單曲／大碟第二主打［You Are］（北美未發行）, B面歌曲為［Applejack／蘋果白蘭地］

此曲由桃莉譜寫, 並製作成一首懷舊的傳統鄉村曲, 輕快熱鬧

後來唱片公司以［Applejack］為A面主打, 重新宣傳, 只是仍未入榜

儘管如此，［Applejack］仍是首耐聽的鄉村曲
