Green, Green Lyrics By The New Christy Minstrels

    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

    well i told my mama on the day i was born
    don’tcha cry when you see i’m gone
    you know there ain’t no woman gonna settle me down
    i just gotta be travelin’ on
    asingin’

    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

    nah there ain’t nobody in this whole wide world
    gonna tell me how to spend my time
    i’m just a goodlovin’ ramblin’ man
    say buddy can you spare me a dime
    hear me cryin’ it’s a

    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

    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

    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
    everybody i wanna hear it now

    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
    to where the grass is greener still
    to where the grass is greener still
    to where the grass is greener still
