Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Green Grow The Lilacs
Lyrics for Album: Sings The Ballads Of The True West/life [2006]



I used to have a sweetheart but now I've got none

Since she's gone and left me, I care not for one

Since she's gone and left me, contended I'll be

For she loves another one better than me



Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you

I'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with you

And by the next meeting, I hope to prove true

And 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, made my heart ache

The look that she gave me was harm for to see

For she loves another one better than me



Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you

I'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with you

And by the next meeting, I hope to prove true

And change the green lilacs to the red white and blue



I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines

She sent me an answer all twisted and twine

Saying keep your love letters and I will keep mine

Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine



Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you

I'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with you

And by the next meeting, I hope to prove true

And change the green lilacs to the red white and blue
