Lyrics for Song: Green, Green Grass of Home 
Lyrics for Album: Masters [Import] [2001]
  
               
  17493>(Curly Putman)
 
 
  The old hometown looks the same
  As I step down from the train
  And there to meet me is my mama and my 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 a-reaching, 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 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 cherries
  It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
 
 
  Then I awake and look around me
  At the grey walls that surround me
  And I realized I was only dreaming
  For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
  Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
  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...
