Johnny's Garden

There's a place
I can get to
Where I'm safe
From the city blues

And it's green
And it's quiet
Only trouble was
I had to buy it

And I'll do anything I got to do
Cut my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden

As the swift bird
Flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then
To take his breakfast

Thus I come and go
And I travel
But I can watch that bird
And unravel

And I'll do anything I got to do
Cuttin' my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden

With his love
And his carin'
He puts his life
Into beauty sharin'

And his children
Are his flowers
And they give me peace
In quiet hours

And I'll do anything I got to do
Cuttin' my hair and shine my shoes
And keep on singin' the blues
If I can stay here in Johnny's garden
