Meadow Green

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]

(Roger Miller)

Meadow green, meadow green

You beat all I've ever seen

With your bubbleing brook near by

Trees that seem to touch the sky.

Meadow green, valley low

You thrill and inspire me so

There's a teardrop in my eye

I must say goodbye.

I must go across the sea

Would you tell the wind for me

And while your at it tell the rain

I'll be coming home again.

To meadow green, meadow green

Many miles may come between

But I hope the time will fly

Meadowgreen goodbye.

I must go across the sea

Would you tell my love for me

And while your at it tell the rain

I'll be coming back again.

To meadow green, meadow green

Many miles may come between

But I hope the time will fly

Meadowgreen goodbye...
