Jim Ed Brown - The Grass Is Red Lyrics


Jim Ed Brown Lyrics

The Grass Is Red Lyrics
(Don Christopher - Ted Cooper)

The grass is red, the grass is red
Red with the blood that was shed
Shed by men who now are dead
Fighting the grass is red.

The ground is a bed
A bed for soldiers to lay their heads
Heads that should have been used
For peace instead of fighting, fighting.

Time and people go on
But our fathers and brothers are gone
And until children are taught
The meaning of the word friends.

The grass will be red again
And again, and again.

The grass was made green
The air was made clean
And land, land was born to live in peace
But somewhere the grass is red.

The grass is red, the grass is red
Red with the blood that was shed
Shed by men who now are dead
Fighting the grass is red.

The ground is a bed
A bed for soldiers to lay their heads
Heads that should have been used
For peace instead of fighting, fighting.

The ground is a bed
A bed for soldiers to lay their heads
Heads that should have been used
For peace instead of fighting, fighting.

Time and people go on
But our fathers and brothers are gone
And until children are taught
The meaning of the word friends.

The grass will be red again
And again, and again...
