Green Grow The Lilacs

Green Grow The Lilacs - Sells/Fenton/Tex Ritter/Ritter

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 sparklin' with dew

I'm lonely my darling

Since partin' with you

By the next meeting

I hope to prove true

Change the green lilacs to the red white and blue

I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines

She sent me an answer all twisted and twine

Saying keep your love letters and I will keep mine

Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine

Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with you

I'm lonely my darling

Since partin' with you

By the next meeting I hope to prove true

Change the green lilacs to the red white and blue
