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

Cut 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

Cut my hair and shine my shoes

And keep on singin' the blues

If I can stay here, in Johnny's garden
