The Green Grass Grew All Around
Composer(s): William Jerome - Harry Von Tilzer
Little Johnnie Green, Little Sallie Brown spooning in the park with the grass all around
Underneath a tree, they were making love, gazing at the silver stars above
John said "Sallie our love will grow, I've got money said Sal, you know
And if you will share my lot I'll give you all I've got"
Head upon his breast Little Sallie Brown Cooche
Cooche Coo with the grass all around, now and then a kiss, then a loving sigh, what would popsey do if ma should die
John said Sallie when we are wed, I'll bring breakfast to you in bed
Come on dear just one more squeeze
Give me your bank book please
After they were wed, I can cook she said Fried a piece of steak with the grass all around
Made some biscuits too, which poor Johnnie ate
Doctor, came, but then it was too late
John delirious starts to rave, three days after he's in his grave
All his happy days are gone, home cooking killed poor John!
And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
And each little bird in the tree top high said "Oh you Kid" and winked his eye
And the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
With all your gold my turtle dove, said he "How can you doubt my love?"
And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around
And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
And each little bird in the tree top high sang "Oh you Kid"
"You're some wise guy!" and the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
John fancied he heard some one say, there's always one born every day
And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around
And the green grass grew all around, all around, all around
And each little bird in the tree top high sand "Oh you John"
Goodbye, goodbye!
And the green grass grew all around, all around, on the ground
The biscuits he could not digest, were laid away with John to rest
And the green grass grew all around, all around, and the green grass grew all around
