Green Grow the Lilacs
Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
I'm lonely my darling since parting with you But by our next meeting I hope to prove true And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue.
I had a sweetheart but now I have none Since she's gone and left me, I care not for one Since she's gone and left me, contented I'll be For she loves another one better than me.
I wrote love letters in rosy red lines She sent me an answer all twisted in twines Saying, Keep your love letters and I will keep mine
Just you write to your love and I'll write to mine!
