Village Green (Alternate Vocal) |
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 |
