Green Green

(Randy Sparks - Barry McGuire - Encino Mandalay)

Green, green, it's green they say
On the farside 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 you cry when you see I'm gone
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just gotta be travelin' on.

Green, green, it's green they say
On the farside of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still.

Oh, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my time
I'm just a good lovin' ramblin' man
Say buddy, could you spare me a dime.

Green green it's green they say
On the farside 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 can lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's where I'm gonna make my bed.

Green green it's green they say
On the farside 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...
