johnny appleseed lyrics

Through word of mouth
Let it be known
The man who spends
His life on a mission
He's legendary

Travelling from
Coast to coast
He's the contemporary
Johnny Appleseed

He's making sure
His garden grows
He'll plant a seed
In every town he goes

Fertilizing
The country side
Couldn't stop him
With insecticide

Makin' sure that
The garden grows
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He'll water the yard
With the gardening hose

And you know
You can plant the seed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Groomin' the backyard
Or whackin' a weed

When diggin' holes
He'll be wearing a glove
He go into the shed
Get out a shovel
And he shove

He'll plant the seed
Makin' sure it's sown
He go into the shed
And he start hoein' with the hoe
Ho, ho, ho, ho

Makin' sure
That the garden grow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He'll water the yard
With the gardening hose

Groomin' the backyard
Or whackin' a weed
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The contemporary
Johnny Appleseed
