Green Green

(Album: Folk Song Book - 1964)

Green green it's green they say on the farside of the hill
Green green I'm going away to where the grass is greener still

Well I told my mama on the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just gotta be traveling on

Green green it's green they say on the farside of the hill
Green green I'm going away to where the grass is greener still

Oh there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my time
I'm just a good loving rambling man
Say buddy could you spare me a dime

Green green it's green they say on the farside of the hill
Green green I'm going away to where the grass is greener still

Well I don't care when the sun goes down
Where I can lay my weary head
Green green valley or rocky road
It's where I'm gonna make my bed

Green green it's green they say on the farside of the hill
Green green I'm going away to where the grass is greener still

To where the grass is greener still
To where the grass is greener still
