The Blue Sky Boys - Green Grow the Lilacs lyrics

Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you But by our next meeting I'll hope to prove true And change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue I once had a sweetheart, but now I have none She's gone and she's left me, I care not for one Since she's gone and left me, contented I'll be For she loves another one better than me I pa**ed my love's window, both early and late The look that she gave me, it makes my heart ache Oh, the look that she gave me was painful to see For she loves another one better than me I wrote my love letters in rosy red lines She sent me an answer all twisted and twined Saying,"Keep your love letters and I will keep mine Just you write to your love and I'll write to mine"
