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 <softer>

Everybody, I wanna hear it now !!!

CHORUS <normal volume>

(To where the grass is greener still)

(To where the grass is greener still)

FADE

(To where the grass is greener still)
