The Village Green

Out in the country 

far from all the soot and noise of the city
There's a village Green.

 It's been a long time
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple    
 Down by the village Green                                         'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy

And kissed her by the old oak tree
Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
And so I left the village Green

I miss the village Green and all the simple people

I miss the village Green
The church, the clock, the steeple
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school

More Canberra attractions

What a contrast
What a delight, 
From bureaucrats and politicians 
To gardens colourful and bright.
Visit Cockington Green,                     
A miniature village,
Those Canberra politicians
Could never tax or pillage.
A must-do stroll on a lazy afternoon
A quintessential English countryside signature tune.
