Now the old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
ย
Down the lane 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 see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
Now the old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dried
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 I look around me
At the four gray walls that surround me
And then I realize that I was only dreaming
'Cause there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
ย
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
ย
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...
