Out in the country

Far from all the soot and noise of the city
soot:black powder that is produced when something is burnt

There's a village green

It's been a long time

Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
steeple:a tall pointed tower on the roof of a church

Down by the village green

'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
twas:it was

And kissed her by the old oak tree

Although I loved my Daisy

I saw fame and so I left the village green
fame:the state of being known about by a lot of people because of your achievements

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
dew:the small drops of water that form on outdoor surfaces during the night

And now all the houses are rare antiquities
antiquity:the state of being very old

American tourists flock to see the village green
flock:they go there in large numbers because something interesting or exciting is happening there

They snap their photographs and say "gawd darn it,Isnt it a pretty scene? "
gawd:used in writing to represent the word 'God' when it is said in this way as an expression of surprise, fear etc
darn:used to show that you are annoyed or disappointed

And Daisy's married tom the grocer boy
grocer:someone who owns or works in a shop that sells food and other things used in the home

And now he owns a grocery

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

And I will return there

And I'll and Daisy

And well sip tea, laugh
sip:to drink something slowly, taking very small mouthfuls

And talk about the village green

We will laugh and talk about the village green


I like the album contains this song.
so I study.
