Yesterday morning I did see blossoms on the apple tree, I took a breath and thought, could it be, it's green-up time! Then I began to look around and in ev'ry field I found Greens were a-pushin' up through the ground for green-up time! And sure enough the bluebells tinkled April in the glen, And sure enough I fell in love with love again! Then I started feeling awful bright, had a thought that hit me right, I'll have my honey dance me tonight and have a time To welcome in the green-up time!
