Village Green - 2018 Stereo Remaster

[00:09.77] Out in the country,
[00:12.47] Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
[00:16.39] There's a village green.
[00:18.93] It's been a long time
[00:21.63] Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
[00:25.88] Down by the village green.
[00:31.06] 'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
[00:35.03] And kissed her by the old oak tree.
[00:40.67] Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame,
[00:44.32] And so I left the village green.
[00:46.96] I miss the village green,
[00:49.30] And all the simple people.
[00:51.47] I miss the village green,
[00:53.83] The church, the clock, the steeple.
[00:55.96] I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:00.47] And now all the houses
[01:03.02] Are rare antiquities.
[01:05.19] American tourists flock to see the village green.
[01:12.64] They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it,
[01:16.62] Isn't it a pretty scene?"
[01:21.58] And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy,
[01:25.72] And now he owns a grocery.
[01:28.34] I miss the village green,
[01:30.74] And all the simple people.
[01:32.83] I miss the village green,
[01:35.40] The church, the clock, the steeple.
[01:37.39] I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.
[01:41.89] And I will return there,
[01:44.76] And I'll see Daisy,
[01:46.17] And we'll sip tea, laugh,
[01:48.73] And talk about the village green.
[01:52.55]
[01:55.85] We will laugh and talk about the village green.
