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.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;
It's 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 and with my sweet Mary, hair of gold an lips like
cherries
it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
(spoken)
Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me and I
realize that I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old
padre. Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak - again I'll touch the green, green
grass of home
FINAL REFRAIN
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
