Green Green Grass of Home Lyrics
The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa.Down the road I look, and there comes Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It`s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry,
And there`s the old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It`s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they`ll all come to see me,
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It`s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize that I was only dreaming.

For there`s a guard, and there`s a sad old padre,
Arm in arm, we`ll walk at daybreak.
Again, I`ll touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they`ll all come to see me
In the shade of the old oak tree,
As they lay me `neath the green, green grass of home.
