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
