Green Grass Grows All Around

A popular children's song, by an unknown author (as far as I can find). The Mighty Blue Kings do I great rendition of this on the album Live From Chicago. The plain text is the lead part, italics are echoed by the group.

Green Grass Grows All Around
written by: unknown

There was a tree

there was a tree

All in the wood

all in the wood

The prettiest tree

the prettiest tree

That you ever did see

that you ever did see

The tree in a hole

and the hole in the ground

and the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around

And on that tree

and on that tree

There was a limb

there was a limb

The prettiest limb

the prettiest limb

That you ever did see

that you ever did see

The limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

and the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that limb

and on that limb

There was a branch

there was a branch

The prettiest branch

That you ever did see

The branch on the limb,

and the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that branch

and on that branch

There was a nest

there was a nest

The prettiest nest

the prettiest nest

That you ever did see

The nest on the branch,

and the branch on the limb,

And the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And in that nest

and in that nest

There was an egg

The prettiest egg

the prettiest egg

That you ever did see

The egg in the nest,

and the nest on the branch,

and the branch on the limb,

and the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And in that egg

and in that egg

There was a bird

The prettiest bird

That you ever did see

The bird in the egg,

and the egg in the nest,

And the nest on the branch,

and the branch on the limb,

And the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that bird

and on that bird

There was a wing

there was a wing

The prettiest wing

the prettiest wing

That you ever did see

that you ever did see

The wing on the bird,

and the bird in the egg,

and the egg in the nest,

and the nest on the branch,

and the branch on the limb,

and the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that wing

and on that wing

There was a feather

there was a feather

The prettiest feather

the prettiest feather

That you ever did see

The feather on the wing,

and the wing on the bird,

and the bird in the egg,

and the egg in the nest,

and the nest on the branch,

and the branch on the limb,

and the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that feather

and on that feather

There was a bug

The prettiest bug

That you ever did see

The bug on the feather,

and the feather on the wing,

and the wing on the bird,

and the bird in the egg,

and the branch on the limb,

and the limb on the tree,

and the tree in a hole,

And the green grass grows all around, all around

The green grass grows all around.

And on that bug
