Green Green Happy Home

once upon a time
there was a green green happy home
but now I think the good times all are gone
it’s a story of hate and misery
but when you listen you will learn
something of the misery in me
green green happy home
green green happy home
green green happy home for me
first my father killed my ma
and the reason why he did it
was the bottle of pa
next day grandma killed grandpa
then I met my sister
prettiest chick you’ve even seen in your life
but when I kissed her
her man showed up with a knife in his hand
and then arose a fearfull fight
they all believed that he was right
I owed my life to the deputy
who got me fifty years penitentiary
green green happy home
green green happy home
green green happy home for me
now I’m doing my time
out here on Parchman Farm
and I’ll stay here till I die
so even in a happy home
where one is happily raised and grown
may lay as you can plainly see
the roots for hate and misery
green green happy home
green green happy home
green green happy home for me
