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 papaDown the road I look and there runs MaryHair of gold and lips like cherriesIt's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they've all come to meet me,Arm reachin' smiling sweetlyIt's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing,Though the paint is cracked and dryAnd there's that old oak tree that I used to play onDown the lane I'll walk with my sweet MaryHair of gold and lips like cherriesIt's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around meAt four gray walls that surround meAnd I realize yes, I was only dreamin'There's a guard and there's a sad old padreArm and arm we'll walk at daybreakAgain I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see meIn the shade of that old oak treeAs they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
