Green, Green, Green

Walking with my honey down by the water

Green, green, green

Spring is in the air but we're doin' what we oughter

I'm just a poor boy, she's the banker's daughter

Green, green, green.

Nights are warm and sun is in the valley

Green, green, green

Nights are warm and sun is in the valley

Warm and sweet were kisses from my Sally

Green, green, green.

Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry

Green, green, green

Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry

'Cause she's only seventeen and not allowed to marry

Green, green, green.

I went to the banker, ask him for his daughter

Green, green, green

I went to the banker, ask him for his daughter

He flew into a rage and he said, ''I couldn't court her.''

Green, green, green.

The leaves're fallin' and where is my honey

Gold, gold, gold

The leaves're fallin' and where is my honey

Curse on that banker and curse on his money

Gold, gold, gold.

Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley

Gone, gone, gone

Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley

I'm worried and sick for my darlin', Sally

Gone, gone, gone.

They pull her body from the freezing water

Cold, cold, cold

They pull her body from the freezing water

There beneath the tree lay our baby daughter

Cold, cold, cold.

Digging two graves down by the water

Green, green, green

Digging two graves down by the water

One for my true love, one for baby daughter

Green, green, green...
