Green Grow The Lilacs Lyrics - Johnny Cash

I used to have a sweetheart but now I've got none 

Since she's gone and left me, I care not for one 

Since she's gone and left me, contended I'll be 

For she loves another one better than me 

Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you 

I'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with you 

And by the next meeting, I hope to prove true 

And change the green lilacs to the red white and blue 

I passed my love's window both early and late 

The look that she gave me, made my heart ache 

The look that she gave me was harm for to see 

For she loves another one better than me

Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you 

I'm lonely, my darling, since partin' with you 

And by the next meeting, I hope to prove true 

And change the green lilacs to the red white and blue 

I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines 

She sent me an answer all twisted and twine 

Saying keep your love letters and I will keep mine 

Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine
