Where the Green Grass Grows Lyrics

Dew drops on a cactus rose

Desert sands between my toes

The whippoorwill cries for rain

Lonesome cloud taunts my pain

Mouth's as dry as sun bleached bones

Canyon winds they howl and moan

I'm weary now but I can't press on

Coyote sings a mournful song

There's a time to take, and a time to give

There's a time to die, and a time to live

Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul

I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows

Sun's as hot as a campfire coal

Now my tale will go untold

I'm thinking of my sweetheart Marie

And the last words she ever said to me

I love you more than you'll ever know

Do one more job, Tom, come back home

I'm sorry dear but I have to leave

I hear the angels callin' out for me

There's a time to take, and a time to give

There's a time to die, and a time to live

Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul

I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows

Now my time is drawing near

My bones to bask on the lone frontier

I'm a coachman robbed and left for dead

With the key they need around my neck

There's a time to take, and a time to give

There's a time to die, and a time to live

Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul

I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows
