The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train And there to greet me are my mamma and my poppa Down the road I look, and there runs Mary Hair of gold, lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green grass of home Chorus Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly It's good to touch the green, green grass of home The old house is still standin Though the paint is cracked and dry And there's that old oak tree That I used to play in Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green grass of home (Chorus) Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly It's good to touch the green, green grass of home Then I awake and look around me At the four grey walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreaming For there's a guard and a sad old padre Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak And at last I'll touch the green green grass of home (Chorus) Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms a-reachin', smilin' sweetly It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. |
