There ain't no woman gonna settle me down I gotta be travelin' on
A singin' (green green...)

There ain't nobody in this whole wide world gonna tell me how to spend my time
I'm just a good lovin' ramblin' man say buddy can ye spare me a dime

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

Everybody let me hear ye (green green...
To where the grass is greener still to where the grass is greener still)
