Won't you have my company, yes take it in you hands go down to velvet green with a country man
G F G
Who's a young girls fancy and an old maid's dream.
Bb c Gsus2 F
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
Gsus2 F G
One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north.
F G
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth.
Gm F G
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream.
Bb C Gsus2 F Gsus2
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green.
F G
And the long grass blows in the evening cool.
F G
And August's rare delight may be April's fool.
Gm
But think not of that, my love,
F G
I'm tight against the seam.
Bb C Gsus2 F
And I'm going up to meet you down on velvet green.

G F G
Now I may tell you that it's love and not just lust.
F G
And if we live the lie, let's lie in trust.
Gm F G
On golden daffodils, to catch the silver stream
Bb C Gsus2 F Gsus2
that washes out the wild oat seed on velvet green.
F G
We'll dream as lovers under the stars ---
F G
of civilizations raging afar.
F G
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars.
Bb C Gsus2 F
As you walk home cold and alone upon velvet green.
