On the green, green farm <br />In green, green Monroe Louisiana <br />So green, green <br />Wet-luscious green and alive <br />So green after the rain <br />So bright green and clean <br />Just passing through <br />On my way to tomorrow <br />But so green today and yesterday <br />It was on that stranger's green, green farm <br />And I didn't stay long <br />And I didn't expect someone <br />To fire that shotgun right next to me <br />The barrel pointed out the front door <br />Into that green, green world beyond. <br />There were hot springs <br />On the green, green farm <br />In green, green Monroe Louisiana <br />Back in 1973.<br /><br />M.L.
