Lyrics

Greenwood

We call it “Greenwood”

And it is

Green

 

“They did a good job

Mama looked good

Se wore her blue dress”

 

And there’s a wood

With strong green trees

And a view

 

“So many flowers

So many cards

Everyone came”

 

A green wood filled

With the great and the small

With towers for those who stood very tall

With humble places for those

Who mattered not at all

 

She was laid in a satin bed

A silken pillow cradling her head

In a splendor she never enjoyed before

 

She was driven in a grand gray car

Grander than any other car

Than she’d ever employed before

 

“We found a nice little shady spot

She would have liked it there”

 

We call it green wood

When it’s alive

Green

 

“It’ll be a nice place to visit”

Yes
