The critters ne´er seed
the beat ofthat,
:26:07
the likes ofa human
a-likin´ that cat,
:26:10
Why, shucks, this little man had
went and busted every precedent,
:26:15
He was the very first
to come,,,
:26:17
without no knife,
without no gun,
:26:24
And so it was,
from that time on,
:26:27
every last livin ´ varmint
was a friend to John,

# The Lord is good to me #
:26:37
# And so I thank the Lord #
:26:40
# For givin´me
the things I need#
:26:43
# The sun and rain
and an apple seed#
:26:45
# Yes, He´s been good to me ##
:27:01
Well, as time went byJohnny kept
right on a-plantin´his apple trees,,,
:27:06
and makin´ friends everywhere,
:27:09
and his best friends
was the pioneers,,,
:27:11
for, of course,John was plantin´more
than an apple tree,
:27:15
He was plantin´his own
boundless faith and courage too,
:27:19
and that give folks new heart,
new hope in the job they had to do,
:27:27
As more and more pioneers
come to push back the forest,
:27:31

oflittle Johnny Appleseed,,,

:27:37
and more ´n once, with
a good old-fashionedjubilee,
:27:40
folks would honorJohnny Appleseed
and the fruit ofthe apple tree,
