BOWLING GREEN
As sung by The Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling on "Bowling Green" (1997)
and "Red, White & Bluegrass: An American Bluegrass Celebration" (2006)

1. Wish I was in Bowlin' Green, sittin' in a chair,
One arm around my pretty little girl, the other round my dear,
The other round my dear.
Bowlin' Green, hey, good old Bowlin' Green.

2. If you see that man of mine, tell him once for me,
If he loves another girl, yes, I'll set him free.
Yes, I'll set him free.
Bowlin' Green, hey, good old Bowlin' Green.

3. Wish I was a bumblebee sailin' through the air.
Sail right down to my feller's side; touch him if you dare.
Touch him if you dare.
Bowlin' Green, hey, good old Bowlin' Green.

4. Goin' through this whole wide world; I'm goin' through alone.
Goin' through this whole wide world; I ain't got no home.
I ain't got no home.
Bowlin' Green, hey, good old Bowlin' Green.
