Green Gravel Lyrics by Fay Hield

Old Adam

2016

Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
Such beautiful flowers as ever were seen
Oh Annie of Annie your sweet heart has fled
He’s sent you a letter to turn round your head
Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
The fairest young Damsel that ever was seen
She’s neither within, she’s neither without
She’s up in the garret a-walking about
Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
The pretty young maidens are plain to be seen
Oh Annie of Annie your sweet heart is dead
They’ve sent you a letter to drop down your head
Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
The dismalest damsel that ever was seen
Oh Mother, oh Mother do you think it is true
Oh yes dear, oh yes dear, then what shall I do?
Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
The pretty young maidens are not to be seen
We washed her, we dried her, we rolled her in silk
And wrote down their names with a gold pen and ink
Green gravel, green gravel the grass is so green
The flowers are all faded, there’s none to be seen
Around the green gravel the grass is so green
The flowers are all faded, there’s none to be seen
