green green grass of home by lyrics :

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs 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 meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
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 that 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

***********

Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there’s a guard and there’s a sad, old padre
On and on, 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 that old oak tree
As they lay me
‘Neath the green, green grass of home

************

The old home town looks the same

as I step down from the train

And there to meet me is my mama and papa

Down the road I look and there runs 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 meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;

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 that old oak tree that I used to play on

Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.

And then suddenly 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 and 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 that old oak tree;

As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home.
