Give Said the Little Stream History

This information comes from Stories from The Children’s Songbook by Sister Pat Graham (more information on that book HERE).

What word is missing in this sentence from the song? “I’m small, I know, but wherever I go the _________ grow greener still.”

If you said “grass,” you are wrong! The song has obviously been taught by rote rather than by looking at the words, as this is not a word change.

Every printing, including the 1920 songbook edition, says “fields.” So where did “grass” come from? Perhaps we have been influenced by the saying “the grass is greener on the other side.”
