Lyrics Johnny Appleseed - Joe Strummer, The Mescaleros

Johnny Appleseed

Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There’s a lot of souls
Ain’t drinking from no well locked in a factory
Hey — look there goes
Hey — look there goes
If you’re after getting the honey — hey
Then you don’t go killing all the bees
Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you’re saying, I hear what he’s saying
Hey — I hear what you’re saying
Hey — I hear what he’s saying
If you’re after getting the honey — hey
Then you don’t go killing all the bees
What the people are saying
And we know every road — go, go What the people are saying
There ain’t no berries on the trees
Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple — fall on the apple
Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don’t know
That soul is hard to find
Hey — down along the road
Hey — down along the road
If you’re after getting the honey
Then you don’t go killing all the bees
Hey — it’s what the people are saying
It’s what the people are saying
Hey — there ain’t no berries on the trees
Hey — that’s what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
You’re checking out the honey, baby
You had to go killin' all the bees
