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.
