Johnny Cash - Green Grow The Lilacs Lyrics
I used to have a sweetheart but now I've got noneSince she's gone and left me, I care not for oneSince she's gone and left me, contended I'll beFor she loves another one better than meGreen grow the lilacs all sparklin' with youI'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with youAnd by the next meeting, I hope to prove trueAnd change the green lilacs to the red white and blueI passed my love's window both early and lateThe look that she gave me, made my heart acheThe look that she gave me was harm for to seeFor she loves another one better than meGreen grow the lilacs all sparklin' with youI'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with youAnd by the next meeting, I hope to prove trueAnd change the green lilacs to the red white and blueI wrote my love a letter in rosy red linesShe sent me an answer all twisted and twineSaying keep your love letters and I will keep mineWrite to your sweetheart and I'll write to mineGreen grow the lilacs all sparklin' with youI'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with youAnd by the next meeting, I hope to prove trueAnd change the green lilacs to the red white and blue
