Green Green Grass Of Home

Intro Verse #1 The old hometown looks the same As I step down from the train There to meet me is my mama and papa Down the lane I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry 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 dried There's the old oak tree that I used to play on Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Chorus Yes they'll all come to meet me Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly It's so good to touch the green green grass of home Solo Verse #3 Then I awake and I look around me At the four gray walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreamin' For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak And again I'll touch the green green grass of home Chorus Yes they'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
