Fay Hield - Green Gravel lyrics

Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green Such beautiful flowers as ever were seen Oh Annie of Annie your sweet heart has fled He's sent you a letter to turn round your head Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green The fairest young Damsel that ever was seen She's neither within, she's neither without She's up in the garret a-walking about Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green The pretty young maidens are plain to be seen Oh Annie of Annie your sweet heart is dead They've sent you a letter to drop down your head Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green The dismalest damsel that ever was seen Oh Mother, oh Mother do you think it is true Oh yes dear, oh yes dear, then what shall I do? Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green The pretty young maidens are not to be seen We washed her, we dried her, we rolled her in silk And wrote down their names with a gold pen and ink Green gravel, green gravel the gra** is so green The flowers are all faded, there's none to be seen Around the green gravel the gra** is so green The flowers are all faded, there's none to be seen
