Blue and Green Lyrics

(Intro)
(Verse)
Can't you hear your momma talkin'
M7
She told you to hush your idling tongue
Sit down in your chair, boy
M7
Eat your supper, leave your brother alone
M7
I was once, just like you
I was green and blue
Well my mother told my father one day
M7
How much she had loved her life with him
Then she rose up from her body
M7
And she vanished in the blue and green of spring
M7
She was once, just like me
Now she's gone into the blue and green
(Instrumental)
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
Well you should've seen my grandmother
M7
She was strong and tough as any man
She was sweet and gentle when
M7
she held you like the lover she used to have
M7
But he was gone, now so it seems
But they lived on in the blue and green
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
Transition:
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
Well keep on growing up so fast
M7
Life will hit you hard as you can take
Well tell me all your troubles boy
M7
And I will try and take those troubles away.
M7
Cause you were once, just like me
We are coming from the blue and green
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
M7
Blue and green; blue and green
You ain't lived until you've seen the blue and green
Can't you hear your momma talkin'
M7
She told you to hush your idling tongue
