| Lyrics: | 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 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'll 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 4 grey walls that surround me
And I
realize, yes, I was only dreamin'
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 beneath the
green, green grass of home |
