"Green Valleys" lyrics

"Green Valleys"

Emmy, my Emmy, won't you come on down?
Moves like the tide on a seaside town
Turned every eye and my eyes she found
Lips sweet water and a voice so sound

Emmy, my Emmy, wild as the land
Never held tight to another's hand
Stole every heart of an honest man
Deep and true, like a woman can

I'd fly over green valleys
Green, green valleys
If ever she would call
I'd fly over
Green, green valleys

I think of her still when the nights are long
I sing like a bird with a loveless song
Emmy, my Emmy, wild as the sea
Carried away so far from me

I'd fly over green valleys
Green, green valleys
If ever she would call
I'd fly over
Green, green valleys

Green, green valleys
Green, green valleys
Green, green valleys
I'd fly over
Green, green valleys
