Lyrics for Someplace Green by Jimmie Rodgers:
| | | Artist: | Jimmie Rodgers |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Someplace Green | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 85 | | | | Lyrics: | The good Lord made man, then he rested for a little while
Said look what I've done, ain't he
pretty, then he cracked a smile
I'll watch him grow, I'll hear him talk, learn to love and
fight
But when he's had his fill of these I'll walk him through the night
To someplace
green (someplace green)
Someplace nice (someplace nice)
Someplace that I (ooh-ooh) call
paradise
Growin' greener in the rain
Waitin' there for man to claim
The good Lord
looked down on the earth one afternoon and frowned
Said man ain't learned an awful lot since I
carved him out of ground
He's built a lot of steeples of clay and rocks and sand
But he
hasn't learned to get along with his fellow man
And someplace green (someplace
green)
Someplace nice (someplace nice)
Someplace that I (ooh-ooh) call paradise
Is
growin' greener in the rain
Waitin' there for man to claim
The good Lord's been around
a while, he'll turn a tee at least
And I guess he'll be around a while, when time and tide have
ceased
Lookin' down from somewhere, tryin' hard to find
If man has earned his paradise the
other side of time
And someplace green (someplace green)
Someplace nice (someplace
nice)
Someplace that he calls paradise
Is growin' greener in the rain
Waitin' there for
man to claim
Yes growin' green, green, green in the rai-ai-ain
Waitin' there for man to
