Green, Green Grass Of Home

[Verse 1]
The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
There to meet me is my mama and my papa
Down the lane, I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Verse 2]
The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
There's that old oak tree, the one I used to play on
And down the lane, I'd walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Chorus 1]
And they'd all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
Oh, it's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Verse 3]
Then I awake and I look around me
To the four gray walls that surround me
And I realize that... well, I was... I was only dreaming
For there's the 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

[Chorus 2]
And 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
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home
