Wish I was in bowling green sitting in chair
One arm my 'round my old guitar
And the other one 'round my dear
The other one 'round my dear
Bowling Green
Oh, good old bowling green
Bowling Green
Oh, good old bowling green

If you see that man of mine
Tell him this for me
If he loves another, I will set him free
I will set him free, bowling green
Oh, good old bowling green
Bowling Green
Oh, good old bowling green

If I had a dollar for every song I've sung
I'd live my life in clover till my days are done
Till my days are done
Bowling green
Oh, good old bowling green
Bowling green
Oh, good old bowling green

But I ain't got a dollar
I ain't got one thin dime
But I got me a sweety
He loves me all the time
He loves me all the time
Bowling green
Oh, good old bowling green
Bowling green
Oh, good old bowling green
