[Chorus:] 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. A-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 traveling on, A-singing...

[Chorus:] 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. Easy, now... [Chorus:] Everybody, I wanna hear it now... [Chorus:]
