| Appleseed John (Randy Sparks/Art Podell) Oh my name is Johnny, Appleseed John It's a big wide wonderful world we're in Sweet red, green, and golden apples Grow wherever I've been I will be your love forever I'll be the star you wish upon All your wishes I'll fulfill Or my name ain't Appleseed John I must journey cross the river Cross the hill where the trail leads west When I come back what shall I bring To the dear one I love best? Johnny, bring me purple flowers Herbs that grow where the big waters fall Sweet red, green, and golden apples I love best of all He brought bouquets of purple blossoms Fresh creamy broil and catnip too But in all the lands of the great frontier Not a single apple tree grew So he said to the folks of the cider presses Give me your pulp when the nectar's dry I'll scatter seeds in the wilderness Or my name ain't Appleseed John Oh his name is Johnny, Appleseed John It's a big wide wonderful world we're in Sweet red, green, and golden apples Grow wherever he's been Now shade yourself from the blaze of summer Eat all you can and fill up your sack And drink a toast to Appleseed John As you sip your applejack Oh my name is Johnny, Appleseed John It's a big wide wonderful world we're in Sweet red, green, and golden apples Grow wherever he's been Sweet red, green, and golden apples Grow wherever he's been
