The Lord is good to me
And so I thank the Lord
For givin' me
The thing I need
The sun and rain
And an apple seed
Yes, He's been good to me

I owe the Lord so much
For everything I see
I'm certain
If it weren't for Him
There'd be no apple
On this limb
He's been good to me

Oh, here am I
'neath the blue, blue sky
A-doin' as i please
Singin' with my feathered friends
Hummin' with the bees
I wake up every day
As happy as can be
Because I know
That with his care
My apple trees
They will still be there
Oh, the Lord is good to me

Pioneers
...rollin' west
There's plenty of room for you
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Out to the great unknown
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Or you'll be left alone

Women
We made a home before
We're startin' out again

Men
We ain't a-feared
o'man nor beast
We're strong hearted men

Johnny & Pioneers
So get on the wagon rollin' west
Seekin' a land that's new
Get on the wagon rollin' west
There's plenty of room for you
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Out to the great unknown
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Or you'll be left alone

The rivers may be wide
The mountains may be tall
But nothin' stops the pioneer
We're trail blazers all

Oh, Get on the wagon rollin' west
Out to the great unknown
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Or you'll be left alone
Get on the wagon rollin' west
Or you'll be left alone

Angel
There's a-apple pickles
Oh, so tasty
Apple tarts and apple pastry
Apple dumplings, not to mention

Johnny
Applesass

Angel
Yes
And there's apple fritters
Light as a thistle
And for folks to wet their whistle

Angel & Johnny
Tangy apple cider in a glass

Angel
Stew 'em, fry 'em, boil 'em, bake 'em

Johnny
Apple pie and apple cake 'em

Angel
Yep, you can cook 'em any way
There's apple this and apple that
The recipes would fill your hat
Why, I could carry on like this all day
So pack your stuff and get a-going
Get them apple trees a-growing

There's a lot of work out there to do

Angel & Johnny
There's a lot of work out there to do

Angel
You got the stuff to see you through
Why...you got all the seeds you're needin'
And for pretty darn good readin'...
There ain't nothing finer than your back
Here's a mighty handy bonnet
Even got a handle on it
Turn it upside down and you can cook
So come on, son, and get a-going'
Get them apple trees a-growin'

Angel & Johnny
There's a lot of work out there to do
Oh, there's a lot of work out there to do

Square Dance Caller
To the right of the ring
And the inside arch
And the outside under
Ain't gonna rain without no thunder
First and third, balance
Swing
Come right out to the right of the ring
And you buckle up 4 with 8 hands around
I'll swing yours and you swing mine
I'll swing my girl half time
Twist her straight to a do-si-do
Chicken in the bread pan
Kickin' out dough
Big pig a-rootin' up a little tater row
One more change and home you go
Now, duck for the apple
4 in a row
Thank ye, son -- corners go
Apple core

Crowd
Baltimore

Square Dance Caller
Bite that apple to the core
Ready now
Allemande left with the old left hand
Back to your partner, right and left grand
Whirl 'em right and whirl 'em wrong
Straighten 'em out and trot 'em along
Right and left, 4 in a row
Second couple on the corners go
Apple core

Crowd

Gent and the pretty girl
