Walkin' with my honey down by the water green green green
Spring is in the air but we're doin' what we order
I'm just a poor boy she's the banker's daughter green green green
Nights are warm and sun is in the valley green green green
Nights are warm and sun is in the valley
Warm and sweet were kisses from my Sally green gren green
Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry green green green
Love made us warm and we really shouldn't tarry
Cause she's only seventeen and not allow to marry green green green

I went to the banker ask him for his daughter green green green
I went to the banker ask him for his daughter
He flew into a rage and he said I couldn't court her green green green
The leaves're fallin' and where is my honey gold gold gold
The leaves're fallin' and where is my honey
Curse on that banker and curse on his money gold gold gold
Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley gone gone gone
Snow is fallin' on the sun and valley I'm worried and sick for my darlin' Sally gone gone gone

They pull her body from the freeing water cold cold cold
They pull her body from the freeing water
There beneath the tree lay our baby daughter cold cold cold
Diggin' two graves down by the water green green green
Diggin' two graves down by the water
One for my true love one for baby daughter green green green
