Bitter Green |
| Upon the Bitter Green she was |
| The hills above the town |
| Echoed to the footsteps |
| As soft as heather down |
| Waiting for her master |
| To kiss away her tears |
| Waiting through the years |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Walking in the sun |
| Loving everyone that she met |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Waiting in the sun |
| Waiting for someone to take her home |
| Some say he was a sailor |
| Who died away at sea |
| Some say he was a prisoner |
| Who never was set free |
| Lost upon the ocean |
| He died there in the mist |
| Dreaming of the kiss |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Walking in the sun |
| Loving everyone that she met |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Waiting in the sun |
| Waiting for someone to take her home |
| Musical Interlude |
| But now, that Bitter Green is gone |
| The hills have turned to rust |
| There comes a weary stranger |
| His tears fall in the dust |
| Kneeling by the churchyard |
| In the autumn mist |
| Dreaming of the kiss |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Walking in the sun |
| Loving everyone that she met |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Waiting in the sun |
| Waiting for someone to take her home |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Walking in the sun |
| Loving everyone that she met |
| Bitter Green they called her |
| Waiting in the sun |
| Waiting for someone… |
| To take her home |
