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
