Blooms :: Applejack

Brother, can ya hear me?
Ah know ah cannot reach ya
But ah feel if ah keep tryin' to
That maybe you kin see

Ah still remember mammy
Belly all a-squirmin' with
Y'all lil appleseeds inside
An' ah just cudn't wait

Ah did'n know... n'un did
'Bout the pains n' blood n' thangs
'Bout her age'n what it brangs
When ya'r havin' twins

N'then, Big Mac wuldn't talk no more
N' Granny got all protectiv'
Ah wan'id to see ya, brother
Ah did'n know ya...

Ah rememb'r what she told me
She said, "Applejack hunny,
Be ah good sistuh to whoever pops out
Teach 'em tah be proud n' strong

If'n it blooms ah gurl,
Teach dat Apple Bloom how to act
Make her stronger'n Big Boy Mac
And don' let nopony hurt her

An if'n it blooms a boy,
Tell Big Mac tah be his ahdol
But teach'm how tah treat-a lady
Make mah Bloomberg strong"

Ah did'n know, ah swear to ya
Else ah woulda stayed with'r
An maybe..ah..coulda...
...saved ya both...

Li'l brother,
Ah know ya'll arnt a pony no more
But bloom strong now, for me n' for
The one who didn't...
