A true story
Aunt Rachel
I remember dear Aunt Rachel
As sweet as she could be
Who had in her front yard
A great big apple tree
She was an old black woman
On my way to school she would wave at me
That’s how I got to know Aunt Rachel
And her great big apple tree
I don’t know why I called her aunt
I guess it just came to be
One day while picking apples
Off that big old apple tree
I came to love Aunt Rachel
Her nephew of make believe
A thousand apples eaten
Off the big old apple tree
And then one day Aunt Rachel died
And no longer waved at me
And from that day I’ve never eaten
Another apple from that tree
