Green Grass Grows All Around Lyrics

GREEN GRASS GROWS ALL AROUND 

TRADITIONAL



Little Johnnie Green, Little Sallie Brown spooning in the park with the grass
all around, Underneath a tree, they were making love, gazing at the silver
stars above, John said "Sallie our love will grow, I've got money said
Sal, you know, And if you will share my lot I'll give you all I've got."
Head upon his breast Little Sallie Brown Cooche, Cooche Coo with the grass all
around, now and then a kiss, then a loving sigh, what would popsey do if ma
should die, John said Sallie when we are wed, I'll bring breakfast to you in
bed, Come on dear just one more squeeze Give me your bank book please. After
they were wed, I can cook she said Fried a piece of steak with the grass all
around, made some biscuits too, which poor Johnnie ate, Doctor, came, but then
it was too late, John delirious starts to rave, three days after he's in his
grave, All his happy days are gone, home cooking killed poor John! And the
green grass grew all around, all around, all around, and each little bird in
the tree top high said "Oh you Kid" and winked his eye, and the green
grass grew all around, all around, on the ground, with all your gold my turtle
dove, said he "How can you doubt my love?" and the green grass grew
all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around. And the green
grass grew all around, all around, all around, and each little bird in the tree
top high sang "Oh you Kid" "You're some wise guy!" and the
green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground, John fancied he heard
some one say, there's always one born every day, and the green grass grew all
around, all around, and the green grass grew all around. And the green grass
grew all around, all around, all around, and each little bird in the tree top
high sand "Oh you John" Goodbye, goodbye! and the green grass grew
all around, all around, on the ground, The biscuits he could not digest, were
laid away with John to rest, and the green grass grew all around, all around,
and the green grass grew all around.
