Green Grow the Lilacs Lyrics & Tabs by Gordon MacRae
Green Grow the Lilacs
guitar chords lyrics
Green grow the lilacs,
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you;
Andy by the next meeting I'll hope to prove true
To change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue.
Green grow the lilacs, green grow the lilacs
I used to have a sweetheart, but now I have none
Since she's gone and left me, I care not for one
Since she's gone and left me, contented I'll be,
For she loves another one better than me.
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you;
Andy by the next meeting I'll hope to prove true
To change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue.
I passed my love's window both early and late,
Andy by the next meeting I'll hope to prove true
To change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue.
I passed my love's window both early and late,
The look that she gave me, it made my heart ache,
The look that she gave me was harmful to see.
For she loves another, one better than me.
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you;
Andy by the next meeting I'll hope to prove true
To change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue.
Green grow the lilacs, green grow the lilacs,
I wrote my love letters in red rosy lines,
She sent me an answer all twisted in twine;
Saying,"Keep your love letters and I will keep mine,
Just you write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine.
Green grow the lilacs, all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely, my darling, since parting with you;
Andy by the next meeting I'll hope to prove true
To change the green lilacs to the Red, White and Blue.
