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.

a-Well I told my mama on the day I was born,
"Dontcha cry when you see I'm gone;"
"Ya know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down;"
"I just gotta be travelin' on."
a-Singin':

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 good-lovin' ramblin' man
Say, buddy, can ya 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...
