CHORUS
(Green, green, it's green they say)
(On the far side of the hill)
(Green, green, I'm goin' away)
(To where the grass is greener still)
a-Well I told my mama on the day I was born
"Dontcha cry when you see I'm gone"
"Ya know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down"
"I just gotta be travelin' on"
a-Singin'
CHORUS
Nah, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me to spend my time
I'm just a good-lovin' ramblin' man
Say, buddy, can ya spare me a dime?
Hear me cryin', it's a
CHORUS
Yeah, I don't care when the sun goes down
Where I lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's there I'm gonna make my bed
Easy, now
CHORUS
Everybody, I wanna hear it now !!!
CHORUS
(To where the grass is greener still)
(To where the grass is greener still)
FADE
(To where the grass is greener still)
