Green Green (Barry McGuire and Randy Sparks) lyrics

Green Green (Barry McGuire and Randy Sparks)

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'

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

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
