Greener pastures

Greener pastures Lyrics

See the baby sleeping, hear his mother weeping
She knows her son is bound to die
Her head is hanging low, her eyes have lost their glow
But still she seems sweet, pass you by.

Bye you baby, bye you bye you baby
Bye you bye you baby, bye you bye
I love you so, so please don't go
To those greener pastures in the sky.

Last week Doc Severs said mom
The fever has got this boy and he shall die
She said he's all I've had, that's 'cause we lost his dad
But still she seems sweet, pass you by.

Bye you baby, bye you bye you baby
Bye you bye you baby, bye you bye
I love you so, so please don't go
To those greener pastures in the sky...
