Lyrics The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers

Blue And Green

Can't you hear your momma talkin'

She told you to hush your idling tongue

Sit down in your chair, boy

Eat your supper, leave your brother alone

I was once just like you

I was green and blue

Well my mother told my father one day

How much she had loved her life with him

Then she rose up from her body

And she 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 until you've seen blue and green
