I Will Give my Love an Apple

"I Will Give my Love an Apple" is a traditional English folk song. It was arranged by Benjamin Britten and by Herbert Howells. The song begins:

I will give my love an apple, I will give my love an apple without e'er a core,

A version of the song was collected at Sherborne, Dorset, by H. E. D. Hammond in 1906; another version was printed in Folk Song Journal, vol. 11, 1907.
