Apple Suckling Tree Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Quicksand Weeds 

Cover art for Apple Suckling Tree lyrics by Bob Dylan

This song is pure joy. Like many of the Basement Tapes songs, it has this improvisational- jam quality about it. Almost like it evolved without too much pre-planning. I don\'t know obviously, but maybe the lyrics don\'t entirely make sense because they were never really meant to. All I do know, it a that a small, heavily foliaged, apple blossom tree could prove to be a very private place for a couple of lovers. Regardless, this one is an oft-overlooked gem in the Dylan catalog.
