Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the gra** is greener still
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 got to keep traveling on
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the gra** is greener still
You know there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna show me how to spend my time
You know I'm just a good loving, rambling man
Now, buddy, can you spare me a dime
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the gra** is greener still
On now I don't care when the sun goes down
Or where I lay my weary head
Now green, green valley or rocky road
It's there I'm gonna make my bed
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the gra** is greener still
One more time
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the gra** is greener still
