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
