Kumquat (Esle Ynopemos)

By Esle Ynopemos

My love, she is an apple mare,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-air,
Orange of coat and mane so fair.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ay.
She works her apple trees every day,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ove,
Those apple trees she's so proud of,
Yes, apples are the life of my love.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ay.

With a song on her lips and a twinkle in her eye,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-aye,
My love baked me an apple pie!

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-oh!
Alas, my love, she did not know,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-dee,
Alas, alack, oh woe is me,
For I have an apple allergy!

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-oh!

Ah, my heart! 'Tis so unfair,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-air,
That I should love an apple mare!

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ooh!
What's a poor baker to do?

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-aye,
I wish to have her apple pie,
But if I did, I'd surely die!

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ooh!

So plant those saplings, plant them wide.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ide.
Plant them for my future bride.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-un.
Make sure that they get plenty of sun,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-all,
Treat them tender, water them all,
Let them each grow strong and tall.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-un.

And then I'll ask the love of my life,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ife,
If she will let me be her wife.

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-oot.
And we can laugh and share our fruit,

Pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-ease,
We'll live together as happy as we please,
Under the shade of our kumquat trees!

With a pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, pickle-barrel, kumquat, chimi-cherry-oot!

Somebody needs to sing this.

3732198 I actually have a melody that I had in mind to set it to. I've considered recording it and posting it somewhere, but... well. I'm honestly just not comfortable enough with my singing voice to do so.
