lyrics
In a dream I met the man called Johnny Appleseed
And he said “I’ve come to help you out, in any way you need”
And I go where no white man goes
And I sleep where the cold wind blows
But right now I’m here for you
Hey Johnny Appleseed man let me shake your hand
You know people say you’re crazy but I sure can understand
Bare feet become hard as stone
You walk a road you can call your own
No wonder they welcome you, livin’ true!
Hey Johnny Appleseed I’ve heard about your deeds
You know livin’ free in harmony with nothin’ but your seeds
Just look how your trees have grown
Never missin’ a sign you’re shown
They could not keep up with you!
Thanks for droppin’ by John, my yard was lookin’ plain
But those seeds you planted years ago are branchin’ out again
Out into the great unknown
With a lesson not told but shown
And I sure gotta thank you, livin’ true
Sittin’ in this traffic jam I’ll tell you what I need
to pick an apple from the tree of Johnny Appleseed
And he said “I’ve come to help you out, in any way you need”
And I go where no white man goes
And I sleep where the cold wind blows
But right now I’m here for you
Hey Johnny Appleseed man let me shake your hand
You know people say you’re crazy but I sure can understand
Bare feet become hard as stone
You walk a road you can call your own
No wonder they welcome you, livin’ true!
Hey Johnny Appleseed I’ve heard about your deeds
You know livin’ free in harmony with nothin’ but your seeds
Just look how your trees have grown
Never missin’ a sign you’re shown
They could not keep up with you!
Thanks for droppin’ by John, my yard was lookin’ plain
But those seeds you planted years ago are branchin’ out again
Out into the great unknown
With a lesson not told but shown
And I sure gotta thank you, livin’ true
Sittin’ in this traffic jam I’ll tell you what I need
to pick an apple from the tree of Johnny Appleseed
