Johnny Appleseed

Johnny Appleseed was a man who knew
That when he died and got to heaven
To the steps of the pearly gates
There’d be three young angels waiting to marry him
His first wife
His first wife has a ball of thread
Show us the way and then she don’t
She take Johnny to her velvet bed
And then she was saved
His second wife
His second wife wears a perfume of the stars
She talks to flowers and says hello
She take Johnny to her flower bed
And then she was saved
His third wife, his third wife
His third wife has fish-star feet
Sings and shouts like a wild beast
She take Johnny to her bed of hay
Oh, Johnny Appleseed
Plant your apple seed
Deep within
