Green Green Grass Of Home Lyrics

(It's so 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 and 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



And 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 to the four grey walls that surround me



And I realize that I was only dreaming



For 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
