Blue and Green Lyrics

can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
sit down in your chair boy
eat your supper and leave your brother alone
i was once just like you
i was green and blue
my mother told my father one day
how much she had loved her life with him
then she rose up from her body
and vanished in the blue and green of spring
she was once just like me
now she's gone into the blue and green

blue and green
blue and green
you ain't lived 'til you seen the blue and green
you should've seen my grandmother
she was tough and strong as any man
but she was sweet and gentle when
she held you like the lover she used to have
he was gone
now so is she
but they live on in the blue and green

CHORUS
keep on growin' up so fast
and life'll hit you hard as you can take
tell me all your troubles boy
and i will try to take those troubles away
you were once just like me
we're all comin' from the blue and green

CHORUS

can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
