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

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 mother
On the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
Because there ain't no woman
Gonna settle me down
I gotta be traveling on

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

Nah, there ain't nobody
In the whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my time
Because I'm just a good-loving
Rambling man
Say, buddy, can you spare me a dime?
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

Now I don't care
When the sun goes down
Where I lay my weary head
There could be green, green valley
Or rocky road
You know, it's there I'm gonna make my bed
Hallelujah

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

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

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
