Johnny Appleseed Song
Song Lyric
Oh, the Lord’s been good to me.
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me the things I need:
The sun, the rain and the appleseed;
Oh, the Lord’s been good to me.
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.
I wake up every day
As happy as can be,
Because I know the Lord is there
Watchin’ over all my friends and me
The Lord is good to me.

Johnny Appleseed was a legendary American who planted and supplied apple trees to much of the United States of America. Many people think that Johnny Appleseed was a fictional character, but he was a real person.
Johnny was a skilled nurseryman who grew trees and supplied apple seeds to the pioneers in the mid-western USA. Appleseed gave away and sold many trees. He owned many tree nurseries in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana, where he grew his beloved apple trees and then sold or traded them. Although he was successful with his trees, Appleseed lived a simple life. He was a vegetarian, wore raggedy clothes, and was a very religious man. It is said that as Johnny traveled, he wore his cooking pot on his head as a hat (this may or may not be true)!
Johnny Appleseed was born in Leominster, Massachusetts, on September 26, 1774. His real name was John Chapman, but he was called Johnny Appleseed because of his love for growing apple trees.
Johnny died at the age of 70; he is buried in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He had spent 50 years growing apple trees and traveling to spread his precious trees around his country so that people could enjoy apples. In 1966, the US Postal Service designed a 5 cent stamp honoring Johnny Appleseed.

THE APPLE TREE
(^_*)
Apples oh what a treat
Sweet are tart
They be great to eat
Yellow green red
Healthy food for you and me
They say that
An apple a day
So keeps the doctor away
Peeled are cut eaten whole right from the tree
Good for you
Just make sure
That you wash they good
Cook it in a pot
Make apple mighty fine sauce
Pickled apples are
Even good ole
Apple pies
Yummy to your tummy
Climb a ladder
Are shake from tree
Apples all come down
To the ground
They will land are
In your hand
Apple juice
Quince the thirst
Yummu yum yum feels good goin down
Apples apples try them all
Even the
Apple suicide
Good for what ale you
Apples cummoment stick stir in hot tea on a cold winters day
Take the chill out of the night
Apples good
Apple bad
Who ate the first apple
Then was bad yet
Made good after the fact

APPLE TREE
_*_
Tall reachin for the skis
Branches spread wide fill with leaves
Grows the might apples
Apple with a sense of knowledge
The magnificent livin entity
Unsympathetic
Yet you grow mighty
Stands strong and long
Long after the human race in long gone you still stand
For good you stand your ground
For food
You feed the flocks
Use for medicine make the ill feel better
Drink for toxin warms the body
Surrounded by other trees
You stand it the mist
Your the best
Grows five kind of apples on the one tree
My guess is
For the five sense that we so found a bit to late
Seein hearin feelin smellin tastin
And we are still weak
Still learnin
And yet what have we learned
Not a bit more
Than the first time around
And that is
We can not rule the world its not our to have yet just the uses of it is all we are suppose to do

AMERICAN PIONEER
For Johnny Appleseed
A tree wood grow like a weed.
He travelled far and wide
planting apple trees with pride.

AUTUMN REVERIE
Closing my eyes,
I can swing so high,
my feet almost touching
the blue of the sky,
some sunshine there,
such golden delight
where cares of the day
simply drift away.
And in this swinging reverie,
my eyes squeezed shut,
such sweet memories
of autumn days so long ago,
swinging from the branches
of the golden apple tree
planted out in the yard
just for me to swing upon
and pick those apples
of sweet and juicy delight
for the pies Mom would bake
on those treasured days
that I still remember
from so very long ago.
