It was a hot summer night,
and we were strolling along
and she was a beautiful woman.
and all the grass was high
There was a sweet delight
I was sixteen, she was twenty -one,
I never had a girl before
and all the grass was high
And we lay down underneath a tree,
I kissed her face, and she kissed me
And I looked into her deep blue eyes,
and knew she would be mine
And we lay down underneath a tree
I kissed her face, and she kissed me
An d I looked into her deep blue eyes
And knew she would be mine
And before the night turned into day
The boy has learned to be a man
and oh the grass was high
And all the grass was high
There was a sweet delight
She was sixteen, I was twenty -one
She'd never had a man before
And all the grass was high
And we lay down underneath a tree
I kissed her face, and she kissed me
Then I looked into her deep blue eyes
And knew she would be mine
And we laid out underneath a tree
I kissed her face, and she kissed me
And I looked into her deep blue eyes
And knew she would be mine
So I left her with much tenderness
Cause the first time you won't forget
And all the grass was high
And all the grass was high
And all the grass was high.
