Walking with my honey down by the water
Green, green, green
Spring is in the air, but we're doin' what we order
I'm just a poor boy, she's the banker's daughter
Green, green, green
Nights are warm and sun is in the valley
Green, green, green
Nights are warm and sun is in the valley
Warm and sweet are the kisses of my Sally
Green, green, green
Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry
Green, green, green
Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry
'Cause she's only 17 and not allowed to marry
Green, green, green
ย
I went to the banker, asked him for his daughter
Green, green, green
I went to the banker, asked him for his daughter
He flew into a rage, and he said, "I couldn't court her"
Green, green, green
The leaves're fallin', and where is my honey?
Gold, gold, gold
The leaves're fallin', and where is my honey?
Curse on that banker, curse on his money
Gold, gold, gold
Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley
Gone, gone, gone
Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley
I'm worried sick for my darlin' Sally
Gone, gone, gone

They pull her body from the freezing water
Cold, cold, cold
They pull her body from the freezing water
There beneath the tree lay our baby daughter
Cold, cold, cold
Digging two graves down by the water
Green, green, green
Digging two graves down by the water
One for my true love, one for baby daughter
Green, green, green
