Trivia
- In May 2001, a teacher taught her first and second grade students this song and sent the resulting video to Jack White. He later said, "I started crying. This teacher, she played songs for her kids and she taught them this song. It's really great, I thought. You can't top that. If it's gotten to that, how can you top that?"
Lyrics
Hey, little apple blossom, what seems to be the problem? All the ones you tell your troubles to, they don't really care for you. Come and tell me what you're thinking, 'cause just when the boat is sinking, a little light is blinking, and I will come and rescue you. Lots of girls walk around in tears, but that's not for you. You've been looking all around for years for someone to tell your troubles to. Come and sit with me and talk awhile. Let me see your pretty little smile. Put your troubles in a little pile, and I will sort them out for you. I'll fall in love with you. I think I'll marry you.
