Lyrics for Song: Green, Green Grass of Home
Lyrics for Album: Today
The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
ItÂ’s good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, theyÂ’ll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
ItÂ’s good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And thereÂ’s an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane IÂ’ll walk with my sweet mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
ItÂ’s good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaminÂ’
ThereÂ’s a guard and thereÂ’s a sad old padre
Arm and arm weÂ’ll walk at daybreak
Again IÂ’ll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, theyÂ’ll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
