 (ride the )
Lord,  there goes Johnny  Appleseed He  might pass by in  the hour of need
There's  a lot of souls -  Ain't drinking  from no well locked  in a factory
Hey  - look  there goes Hey  - look  there goes
If  you're after getting the honey -  hey
Then  you don't go killing  all the bees
 Lord,there  goes Martin  Luther King Notice  how the door closes when the
chimes  of freedom ring
I  hear what you're saying,  I hear what he's saying Is  what was true now  no
 longer so
Hey  - I hear  what you're saying Hey  - I hear what he's  saying
If  you're after getting the honey -  hey
Then  you don't go killing  all the bees
What  the people are saying  And we know every road
What  the people are saying There ain't no berries  on the trees
 
Let  the summertime  sun  Fall on the apple - fall  on the apple
Lord,  there goes a Buick  forty-nine Black  sheep of the angels riding,
riding  down the line
We  think there is a soul,  we don't know  That soul  is hard to find
Hey  - down the road Hey  - down the road
If  you're after getting the honey  Then you don't go killing  all
 the bees
Hey  - it's what the people are saying  It's what the people
 are saying
Hey  - there ain't no berries  on the trees
Hey  - that's what the people are saying,  no berries on the trees
 You're checking  out the honey,baby  You had to go killin' all the
 bees
