Greener Pastures

The postman brought a letter for my darlin                I told him that she left here long ago He wondered if I knew where she headed           I told him everything I  know Greener    pastures  is where she can be found       Greener pastures is where my baby was bound My calloused hands tell the story            Of the hard life and times I have seen When all around had fields of plenty         The seeds I sowed always came up lean Greener    pastures  is where she can be found       Greener pastures is where my baby was bound SOLO I promised her a life of  milk and honey I promised her a never ending love I promised her she’d never be unhappy I guess sometimes a promise ain’t enough Greener    pastures  is where she can be found       Greener pastures is where my baby was bound
