Greenin Up Lyrics & Chords By David Mallett

There's an old horse in the pasture
And just like me he's seen his better days
But he sniffs the air this mornin'
And his eyes take on an old familiar glaze

He clicks his heels, throws his head
looks right at me like I understood
That it's springtime in the country
And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good.

There's a bullfrog in the bog behind my house
And he'll be makin' such a sound
Long late in the afternoon
Right up 'til the evening sun goes down
He's happy to be livin' in a world
Of fiddleheads and rotten wood

And it's springtime in the country
And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good.
It's greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine
Every little seed comin' right on time
Up across the field, up into the wood
It's greenin' up real good

Well I work all day in the garden
This time of year there's just too much to do
But there's a fishin' pole in the corner
And it's strung up with a line as fine as dew
Tomorrow there'll be lots of time
To do the million things I know I should

And it's springtime in the country
And the pasture grass is greenin' up real good
It's greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine
Every little weed, every little vine
Where the open field gives way to the wood
It's greenin' up real good
It's greenin' up real good, lookin' mighty fine
Every little seed, comin' right on time
Up across the field, up into the wood
It's greenin' up real good
