Green Green Grass Of Home lyrics

(It`s good to touch the 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 and papa

And 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 areaching 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 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 the grey walls that surround me

And I realize that I was only dreaming

There`s a guard and there`s that sad old padre

Arm in arm we`ll walk at daybreak

And 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
