*In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree is a popular song dating from 1905. It was written by Harry Williamsand Egbert Van Alstyne (music). Popular recordings in 1905 were by Henry Burr; Albert Campbell; Haydn Quartet; and by Arthur Pryor's Band.[1] Other recordings were by Duke Ellington (Brunswick 6646, recorded August 15, 1933), [2] Louis Armstrong and The Mills Brothers (Decca 1495, recorded June 29, 1937)[3] and Alma Cogan (1962).[4] Bing Crosbyincluded the song in a medley on his album On the Sentimental Side (1962).
The meter of its chorus is in the form of a Limerick.
It can safely be characterized as a highly sentimental tune. Although the verses (seldom heard nowadays) provide further explanation, it is clear that the writer is singing about a lost love:
In the shade of the old apple tree, Where the love in your eyes I could see, Where the voice that I heard, Like the song of a bird, Seemed to whisper sweet music to me, I could hear the dull buzz of the beeIn the blossoms as you said to me, "With a heart that is true, "I'll be waiting for you, In the shade of the old apple tree."
