Blue And Green

The Wood Brothers

Can't you hear your momma talkin'
She told you to hush your idling tongue
Sit down in your chair, boy
Eat your supper, leave your brother alone
I was once just like you
I was green and blue

Well my mother told my father one day
How much she had loved her life with him
Then she rose up from her body
And she vanished in the blue and green of spring

She was once just like me
Now she's gone into the blue and green

Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen blue and green
