Johnny Appleseed
Oh, the lord is good to me
And so I thank the lord
For giving me the things I need
Like the sun and the rain and the apple seed
The lord is good to me
And every seed that grows
Will grow into a tree,
And one day soon there'll be apples there,
For everyone in the world to share.
The lord is good to me.
Oh, here I am 'neath the blue, blue sky
Doing as I please.
Singing with my feathered friends
Humming with the bees.
I wake up every day,
As happy as can be,
Because I know that with his care
My apple trees, they will still be there.
The lord's been good to me.
