 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Del Reeves
 
 
 
 36124>It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
 
 
 
 The old hometown looks the same
 
 As I step down from the train
 
 And there to meet me is my mama and 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 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
 
 
 
 Then I awake and look around me
 
 At the gray walls that surround me
 
 And I realize that I was only dreaming
 
 There's a 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
 
 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
