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

Oh 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 got to keep 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

Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my time
I'm just a good loving rambling man
Saying, 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 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

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
