The Green Grass Grew All Around
Children's Folk Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Performed by Two of a Kind

There once was a tree
(There once was a tree)
A pretty little tree
(A pretty little tree)
The prettiest little tree
(The prettiest little tree)
That you ever did see
(That you ever did see)

Oh, the tree in a hole
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, all around
And the green grass grew all around

Now on this tree
(Now on this tree)
There was a limb
(There was a limb)
The prettiest little limb
(The prettiest little limb)
That you ever did see
(That you ever did see)

Oh, the limb on the tree,
A and the tree in a hole
And the hole in the ground
And the green grass grew all around, all around
And the green grass grew all around
