Gonna move me down south
Where there's greener grass and bluer skies
Where the ladies are lonely enough to be my wife
Where the people are blind enough to be my light
And if that green green grass turns brown
Gonna come back home
And if that green green grass turns brown
Gonna come back home

When I come home I'm gonna take good care
Of that green green grass I'll treat it fair
And have 'em roots gone dry you know that I'll still stay
And give 'em all of my love more than I may
And if that green green grass turns brown
Still calling this home
And if that green green grass turns brown
Still calling this home

Well I moved me down south
There was greener grass and bluer skies
And the ladies were lonely enough to be my wife
And the people were blind enough to be my light
And when that green green grass turned brown
Well I came back home
And when that green green grass turned brown
Well I came back home
And when that green green grass turned brown
Came back
