A soft bed and someone else's shoes
Come inside, stay a while
Rest your tired feet
Haunted by a recurring dream
Of a girl you left from hanging from an apple tree
Johnny appleseed, wanders the countryside
Keeping to his task to keep out the rest
Johnny appleseed, bright fresh from heaven sighed
"please let me make it up to strangers" in ohio all the farmers wives
Thanked you with fresh apple pies
And hurried to mend
The tears in your pants
Dumbfounded by their kindness
And embara**ed by your shyness
You slipped out the back door
At the first chance
Haunted by a recurring dream
Of a girl you left from hanging from an apple tree
Johnny appleseed, wanders the countryside
Keeping to his task to keep out the rest
Johnny appleseed, bright fresh from heaven sighed
"please let me make it up to strangers" the famished cow you rescued from
The wealthy rotten farmer john
Offered in gratitude
To turn itself to gold
But you declined the offer
Saying "that was not for profit"
And ushered the stragler back into her fold
Haunted by a recurring dream
Of a girl you left from hanging from an apple tree
Johnny appleseed, wanders the countryside
Keeping to his task to keep out the rest
Johnny appleseed, bright fresh from heaven sighed
"please let me make it up to strangers"
