Song language: English
Village Green |
| Out in the country |
| Far from all the soot and noise of the city |
| There’s a village green |
| It’s been a long time |
| Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple |
| Down by the village green |
| 'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy |
| And kissed her by the old oak tree |
| Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame |
| And so I left the village green |
| I miss the village green |
| And all the simple people |
| I miss the village green |
| The church, the clock, the steeple |
| I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school |
| And now all the houses |
| Are rare antiquities |
| American tourists flock to see the village green |
| They snap their photographs and say «Gawd darn it |
| Isn’t it a pretty scene» |
| And Daisy’s married Tom the grocer boy |
| And now he owns a grocery |
| I miss the village green |
| And all the simple people |
| I miss the village green |
| The church, the clock, the steeple |
| I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school |
| And I will return there |
| And I’ll see Daisy |
| And we’ll sip tea, laugh |
| And talk about the village green |
| We will laugh and talk about the village green |
