"And The Green Grass Grew All Around" lyrics

"And The Green Grass Grew All Around"

Out in the meadow there was a little tree
The prettiest little tree that you ever did see
A tree in the hole and the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

Now on this tree there was a little limb
The prettiest limb that you ever did see
A limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

Now on that limb was a little forky twig
The prettiest twig that you ever did see
A twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

Now on that twig was a little bird's nest
Prettiest little nest that you ever did see
Nest on a twig and a twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, all around
And the green grass grew all around

Now in that nest there was a little egg
A little blue egg. Must have been a robin's egg
Prettiest little egg that you ever did see
Egg in a nest and a nest on a twig and a twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

Now in that egg there was a little bird
Prettiest little bird that you ever did see
A bird in an egg and an egg in a nest and a nest on a twig and a twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

Now on that little bird there was a little
Prettiest wing that you ever did see
A wing on a bird and a bird in an egg and an egg in a nest and a nest on a twig and a twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around

On that wing there was a little feather
Prettiest little feather that you ever did see
A feather on the wing and a wing on a bird and a bird in an egg and an egg in a nest and a nest on a twig and a twig on a limb and a limb on a tree and a tree in a hole and a hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, and around
And the green grass grew all around
