“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!”
