Green Green grass of Home

 

  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

It's good to touch

The green green grass of home

 

  Chorus:

Yes they'll all come to meet me

Arms reaching smiling sweetly

It's good to touch

The green green grass of home.

 

  2. 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 walked with my sweet Mary

Hair of gold and lips like cherries

It's good to touch

The green green grass of home

 

  Chorus:

  3. Then I awake and look around me

There's four grey walls that surround me

Then I realised, that I'd only been dreaming

For there's a guard and a sad old padre

On and on we'll walk at day break

Then again I'll touch

The green green grass of home.

 

  Chorus:

Yes they'll all come to see me

'neath the shade of that old oak tree

As they lay me 'neath

The green green grass of home
