Green, green, it's green, they say,
On the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I'm goin' away
To where the grass is greener still.
The New Christy Minstrels, 1963
Brown, brown, it's brown they say
Out here, on the lone prair-ie,
To where the grass is green to see.
Well, I told my daddy on the day I was ten,
Don't you cry when you see I'm twelve,
There ain't nobody gonna hold me then,
I'm gonna go away by myself.
I don't care if the sun goes down
Where I lay my weary head,
'Cause everywhere the ground is brown
I want to see it green instead.
EV'rybody now...
It's brown, brown, it's brown they say
Out here, on the lone prair-ie,
Brown, brown, I'm goin' away
To where the grass is green to see.

After a long, cold winter, we've had a wet spring, so things are finally greening up
here at our home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.
Behind the unfurling fern, you can see where blossoms fell from our ornamental crabapple tree (see previous post for a pink song).
