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 were kisses from my Sally
|
Green gren 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 seventeen and not allowed to marry

I went to the banker ask him for his daughter
|
Green green green
|
I went to the banker ask him for his daughter
|
He flew into a rage and he said I couldn't court he
|
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 and 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 and 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 freeing 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
