| Hey John Deere green
|
| In letters three feet tall
|
| Jimmy loves Charlene
|
| In John Deere green
|
| We drove here in a John Deere Tractor
|
| I cracked a few jokes, happy to hear laughter
|
| And then cracked a beer to reduce my fear factor
|
| So this lump in my throat would disappear faster
|
| And then I got down on one knee and asked her
|
| If she would be my sweetheart until the sweet hereafter
|
| And she clapped her hands together in a way
|
| That told me she’d stay with me forever and a day
|
| And I took her by the arm and led her away
|
| Up the ladder to the barn loft, and laid her head in the hay
|
| And later showed her the place I wrote the letters of her name
|
| Three feet tall, and things were never the same
|
| And ever since, I’ve been saying' that the one clear thing
|
| I know is these words in this song here I sing
|
| As these guitar strings make my ears ring
|

|
| Jimmy loves Charlene
|
| In John Deere green
|
| I didn’t know much, but I knew enough
|
| To know the two of us had found true love |
| We had few rough fights where we’d feud and fuss
|
| Like two stubborn mules who refuse to budge
|
| But we kept a roof above our two heads in the rain
|
| And when things got strained we remembered the place
|
| With the green spray paint where the letters remain
|
