Green Grasses

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
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
