Description
Antique song card
Circa 1906
Postmark Mount Vernon NY
Novelty postcard with a photo of a young couple on a country path.
In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree is a popular song dating from 1905.
It was written by Harry Williams and Egbert Van Alstyne (music).
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 movie The Wizard of Oz, in the scene involving the talking apple trees who become angry with Dorothy for picking apples off them, the strains of this song are heard in the instrumental underscore.
Similarly, in Warner Bros. cartoons, the tune was invoked in underscore sometimes, when trees were appearing on the screen.

Have you heard the either WW1 or WW2-era (I forget which) song that has the main verse of "Don't sit under my apple tree with anyone else but me"? I remember learning that for choir in grade school, when we did a show for the retirement home (so, a lot of old 20's-through-'40's songs). That's always the first song I think of if apples/apple trees are mentioned.
