Original lyrics

EN

I used to have a sweetheart but now I have none Since she's gone and left me I care not for one Since she's gone and left me contended I'll be For she loves another one better than me Green grow the lilacas all sparkling with dew I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you And by the next meeting I hope to prove true To change the green lilacs to the red white and blue I passed my love's window both early and late The look that she gave me it made my heart ache The look that she gave me was harm for to see For she loves another one better than me Green grow the lilacas all sparkling with dew... I wrote my love a letter in red rosy lines She sent me an answer all twisted and twine Sayng keep your love letters and I will keep mine Just write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine Green grow the lilacas all sparkling with dew...
