Johnny Cash Album: Sings the Ballads of the True West Track: Green Grow the Lilacs Green Grow the Lilacs Lyrics (arr. Johnny Cash) © '52 House Of Cash, BMI 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 sparkling 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 [ 12-str.guitar ] 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... [ ac.guitar ] I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines She sent me an answer all twisted and twine Sayng keep your love letters and I will keep mine Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine Green grow the lilacs...
