Green Green Grass Of Home Lyrics
Green Green Grass Of Home - Lou Thomm
The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me
Was my mamma and my poppa
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
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'll walk
With my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green
Green grass of home
When I awake and look around me
At the four gray walls that surround me
And I realize
Yes I was only dreaming
For there's a guard
And a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the
Green green grass of home
Yes they'll all came to meet me
Arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
The green green grass of home
The old house is still standing
Tho' the paint is cracked and dry
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
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
Take me back
To the place where I belong
Take me back
I'm gonna see my mama papa
Take me back
I'm gonna see my mama papa
