|
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 travelBut |
|
I can watch that bird and then ravel |
|
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 |
