Lyrics

Greenin’ Up David Mallett Cherry Lane Music Pub. Co.Inc. ASCAP

There’s an old horse in the pasture

And just like me he’s seen his better days

But he sniffs the air this mornin’

And his eyes take on an old familiar glaze

He clicks his heels, throws his head

looks right at me like I understood

That it’s springtime in the country

And the pasture grass is greenin’ up real good.

There’s a bullfrog in the bog behind my house

And he’ll be makin’ such a sound

Long late in the afternoon

Right up ‘til the evening sun goes down

He’s happy to be livin’ in a world

Of fiddleheads and rotten wood

And it’s springtime in the country

And the pasture grass is greenin’ up real good.

It’s greenin’ up real good, lookin’ mighty fine

Every little seed comin’ right on time

Up across the field, up into the wood

It’s greenin’ up real good

Well I work all day in the garden

This time of year there’s just too much to do

But there’s a fishin’ pole in the corner

And it’s strung up with a line as fine as dew

Tomorrow there’ll be lots of time

To do the million things I know I should

And it’s springtime in the country

And the pasture grass is greenin’ up real good

It’s greenin’ up real good, lookin’ mighty fine

Every little weed, every little vine

Where the open field gives way to the wood

It’s greenin’ up real good

It’s greenin’ up real good, lookin’ mighty fine

Every little seed, comin’ right on time

Up across the field, up into the wood

It’s greenin’ up real good
