Green Green Grass Of Home
The old hometown looks the same as i step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama & papa
Down the road i look & there comes mary hair of gold & lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they've all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked & dry
And there's that old oak tree that i used to play on
And down the lane i'd walk with my sweet mary hair of gold & lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they've all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
Lord it's so good to touch the green green grass of home
Then i awake & look around me at four gray walls that surround me
And i realized that i was only dreaming
For there's a guard & there's a sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Once again i'll touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
