The Green Grass Grows all Around

There was a tree
All in the woods
The prettiest tree
That you ever did see

And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And on that tree
There was a branch
The prettiest branch
That you ever did see

And the branch on the tree
And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And on that branch
There was a nest
The prettiest nest
That you ever did see

And the nest on the branch
And the branch on the tree
And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And in that nest
There was an egg
The prettiest egg
That you ever did see

And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the branch
And the branch on the tree
And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And in that egg
There was a bird
The prettiest bird
That you ever did see

And the bird in the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the branch
And the branch on the tree
And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And on that bird
There was a wing
The prettiest wing
That you ever did see

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 tree
And the tree in the ground
And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around.

And the green grass grows all around, all around
The green grass grows all around!
