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 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
