lirik lagu walter martin - hiram hollow
[verse 1]
when i was a young man i carried my pack
went down to the river and i brought a whale back
i tilted my crown and paraded through town
but i lost all my dough at the track
see, i’m just a dandy like father before
i learned from my mother stay close to the shore
but i bought a big boat, pinned a rose to my coat
and i’ll fight if they send me to war
’cause i shot a fox as he drank from the pond
i looked in his eyes as he met the beyond
i sat there and cried as my wife tanned his hide
man, i still don’t know which side i’m on
so if orange is thе sunset then red is thе rise
i saw the ships coming from the shape of your eyes
i kissed your red lips as i boarded my ship
maybe this time is my time to die
[chorus]
green eyes to my surprise
oh, green eyes to my surprise
you’ll see me cry while beside you i lie
honey, that’s how i’ll tell you goodbye
[verse 2]
so i tell the old stories but no one believes
they think there’s some trick hiding up in my sleeve
but i do declare that my uncles ate bears
and my aunties made rings with their t~~th
oh, i’ll help you, rhonda, if you stay by my side
when the heavenly flood fills the world to the sky
your love is so sweet but there’s blood in the street
so with you my dear rhonda i’ll die
and now every august i haul my old stone
way up to the mountain and i set up my throne
the sheep give us wool ’til our bellies are full
and the little ones chew on the bones
[chorus]
green eyes to my surprise
oh, green eyes to my surprise
you’ll see me cry while beside you i lie
honey, that’s how i’ll tell you goodbye
[verse 3]
now my mother’s mom was a singer, you see
but she died in nineteen and seventy~three
the next year i was born and since then i have sworn
i can hear her voice singing to me
[outro]
and honey, that’s how i’ll tell you goodbye
