THE KINGSTON TRIO lyrics - Green Grasses

(John Stewart)



"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]
