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 mamma on the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
You know, there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just gotta be travelling 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 this whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my life
You know, I'm just a good loving rambling man
Hey, 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

Yeah, I don't care where the sun goes down
Where I lay down my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's there I'm gonna make my bed

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

To where the grass is greener still
To where the grass is greener still
