The New Christy Minstrels

 

*Green, green, it's green  they say

On the far side of thoe 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't cha cry when you see I'm gone

You know, there ain't no woman gonna settle me down

I just gotta be travelin' on

A-singin'

 

Repeat* 

 

Nah, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world

Gonna tell me how to spend my time

I'm just a good-lovin' ramblin' man

Say, buddy,  can you spare me a dime?

Hear me cryin', it's a

 

Repeat"

 

Yeah, I don't care when the sun goes down

Where I lay me weary head

Green green valley or rocky road

It's there I'm gonna make my bed

Easy now

 

Chorus*
