This is a song often sung by Mennonites before meals as a way of
saying grace. Don't know where/when it originated.
Johnny Appleseed
6 6 -6 6 5 -4 4
Oh, the Lord's been good to me.
4 5 4 5 -5 6
And so I thank the Lord
6 -6 6 6 6 -6 6 6
For giving me the things I need:
6 -6 6 6 -6 6 6 -6 5 4
The sun, and the rain and the apple seed;
4 4 5 4 5 -4 4
Oh, the Lord's been good to me.
3 3 4 4 3 -3 4
Johnny Appleseed, Amen.
(Extra Verses)
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.
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.
