Green Green Grass of Home

Green Green Grass of Home - Don Gibson

The old home town looks the same

As I step down from the train

And there to meet me is 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

Yes they'll all come to meet me Arms areaching 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'll 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 around look 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 alle to see me a ruch smail sentlin

It's good to touch the green green grass of home
