[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
Oh, the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
Or so it seems
I got a wedding band
In the name of a wandering man
Who I love the best I can
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh Henry, you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been saying
You been running around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
And you should know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
[Verse 2: Joy Williams with John Paul White]
Boy, if you're smart
You'll know you'll only have my heart
'Til death do us part
Oh, you and I both know
That at the end of that forbidden road
There's a six-foot hole
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh Henry, you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been saying
You been running around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
And you should know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
[Bridge: Joy Williams with John Paul White]
When we wed, we said forever, ever and a day
The whole town heard you promise to be true
So, boy, you're gonna only give your gypsy heart to me
If it's the last thing you do
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh Henry, you got something to tell me?
'Cause everybody's been saying
You been running around
Oh Henry, I know you wouldn't hurt me
And you should know that we don't need
One more grave in this town
One more grave in this town
[Outro: Joy Williams]
Oh, the grass is green
Everywhere but under me
