Words
Aide from planting trees
Johnny Appleseed would pray
And this is how he'd praise the Lord
come fair or rainy day
(whistle)

The Lord is good to me and so I thank the Lord
for givin' me the things I need
the sun and rain and an apple seed, yes,
He's been good to me
(whistle)

I owe the Lord so much for everything I see
I'm certain if it weren't for Him
there'd be no apples on this limb, yes
He's been good to me
(whistle)

Oh here am I 'neath a blue, blue sky a doin' as I please
singin' with my feathered friends
Hummin' 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
Oh the Lord's been good to me,
(Whistle)
