Johnny Appleseed - Lyrics
Oh, the Lord is good to me,
And so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need;
The sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
Oh, and every seed I sow,
Will grow into a tree.
And someday there'll be apples there,
For everyone in the world to share.
Oh, the Lord is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
Oh, the earth is good to me,
And so I thank the earth,
For giving me the things I need:
The sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The earth is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
And so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need;
The sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
Oh, and every seed I sow,
Will grow into a tree.
And someday there'll be apples there,
For everyone in the world to share.
Oh, the Lord is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
Oh, the earth is good to me,
And so I thank the earth,
For giving me the things I need:
The sun and the rain and the apple seed.
The earth is good to me,
Johnny Appleseed!
