The Kingston Trio — Green Grasses lyrics

Lyrics

«Way out by lonely bayou. There waits a girl where the green grasses grow.
Waits she there with a tear in her eye dreaming of years that long have gone by.
How I yearn for the days that are gone! I’d wake in the morning to a whippoorwill song.
There by the fire sits my lady fair. Singing this song as the combs her long
hair.
Now I’m thinkin' home I must go 'cause I’ve been wandrin' where the four winds
blow.
Startin' tonight with the big April moon, she’ll be by my side by the third day
of June.
(Repeat first verse)
