Green, green, it's green, they say

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.

Well I don't care when the sun goes down,
Where I lay my weary head.
A green, green valley or a rocky road,
That's where I'm going to lay my head.
Sing it now:

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.

And I don't give a hoot about a green back dollar,
Spend it fast as I can,
Cause when its gone, and the good days long,
Thats the only thing that I understand
Hoo boy
The only thing that I understand.

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.

Well I told my mama on the day I was born
Don't ya cry when you see I'm gone,
You know there ain't nobody gonna
Settle me down, I just gotta be
Travelling on. Hear me singing.

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.
