Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
I told my mama on the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just got to keep traveling on
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
You know there ain't nobody in the whole wide world
Gonna show me how to spend my time
You know I'm just a good loving, rambling man
Now, buddy, can you spare me a dime
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
On now I don't care when the sun goes down
Or where I lay my weary head
Now green, green valley or rocky road
It's there I'm gonna make my bed
And I sing
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
One more time
Green, green, it's green, they say
On the far side of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still
