Green Eyed Girl (Single)

I hang my head in shame, every time that it rains
Thinking how I let our love die
I think of the past, how I thought our love would last
till in a cold, cold grave I'll lie

Put no flowers on my grave, leave the earth bare where I lay
if a blade of grass should sprout, cut it down
give the flowers to that girl, most precious in the world
leave me there to rott in the cold, cold ground

Let the cold breezes blow and let em bring some snow
so everyone will know about my life
that I thought more of this world than a precious green eyed girl
who loved me so and once was my wife

Set no tomb stone for me, I'm worthless as can be
just plant me high above the mountainside
so in winter the'll be snow and the cold winds will blow
so no one will come to my graveside

Let no preacher dressed in black say no words on my behalf
Let my life be set forth to every man
that no woman sweet and kind should have to spend her time
setting home alone waiting for no man

Let the cold breezes blow and let em bring some snow
so everyone will know about my life
that I thought more of this world than a precious green eyed girl
who loved me so and once was my wife

Who loved me so and once was my wife
