Lyrics
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've all come to meet me, arms a-reached 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 And 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 these four gray walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreaming But 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
