Laid in his grave, laid in his grave;

2. They planted an apple tree over his head,
Over his head, over his head;
They planted an apple tree over his head,
Oh, oh over his head,
Oh, oh over his head.

All fell down, all fell down;
The apples got ripe and all fell down,
Oh, oh, all fell down,
Oh, oh, all fell down.

Picking them up, picking them up;
There came an old woman picking them up,

Gave her a kick, gave her a kick;
Ol' Roger got up and gave her a kick,

Hippity-hop, hippity-hop;
It made the old woman go hippity-hop,

Encima de su cabeza, encima de su cabeza,
Plantaron un manzano encima de su cabeza,

Oh, oh encima de su cabeza.

Todas cayeron, todas cayeron,
Las manzanas maduraron y todas cayeron,
Oh, oh, todas cayeron,
Oh, oh, todas cayeron.

Recogiéndolas, recogiéndolas
Ahí vino una vieja recogiéndolas,

Le dio un puntapié, le dio un puntapié
El viejo Rogelio se levantó y le dio un puntapié
Oh, oh, le dio un puntapié,
