This melody "Ringo Oiwake" is one of most popular Misora Hibari's song in Japan, it means "Apple brossom 's memory".

A woman remember her hometown, Tsugaru, Aomori, the northern area of Japan. She felt her mother's memory like apple flower's smell, brossom fly by warm wind under the moon lights. She cried because when she was young she must came to town to work far away from home, and work very hard. She never go back home, her family is too poor to live together as a small apple farmer.

@hanasakura88 Very enlightening piece of information. I was curious after reading your post so I searched for a the Misora Hibari version of this song and it really is a beautiful song.

@hanasakura88

And here was me thinking it was about Ringo Starr. Your version makes more sense though.
