Gren Green Grass Of Home

Intro: verse 1 The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train and there to meet me is Mama and my 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 verse 2 The old house is still standing, tho' 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 verse 3 (spoken Line) Then I awake and look around me, at these four grey walls that surround me Then I realize that I was only dreaming There's a guard and a sad old padre Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak Again I touch the green green grass of home Outro ) 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
