Village Green (Stereo Mix)

[00:09.52] Out in the country,
[00:12.31] Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
[00:16.61] There's a village green.
[00:18.74] It's been a long time
[00:21.66] Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
[00:25.72] Down by the village green.
[00:30.62] Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
[00:34.93] And kissed her by the old oak tree.
[00:40.01] Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame,
[00:44.37] And so I left the village green.
[00:46.82] I miss the village green,
[00:49.13] And all the simple people.
[00:51.23] I miss the village green,
[00:53.78] The church, the clock, the steeple.
[00:55.75] I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:00.19] And now all the houses
[01:02.94] Are rare antiquities.
[01:04.69] American tourists flock to see the village green.
[01:12.17] They snap their photographs and say "gawd darn it,
[01:16.58] Isn't it a pretty scene?"
[01:21.39] And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy,
[01:25.40] And now he owns a grocery.
[01:28.13] I miss the village green,
[01:30.57] And all the simple people.
[01:32.76] I miss the village green,
[01:35.06] The church, the clock, the steeple.
[01:37.31] I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:41.84] And I will return there,
[01:44.52] And I'll see Daisy,
[01:45.97] And we'll sip tea, laugh,
[01:48.51] And talk about the village green.
[01:55.65] We will laugh and talk about the village green.
