Green Green Grass Of Home (2004 Digital Remaster) - howard carpendale

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 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 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

As four gray walls that surround me

And I realize yeah I was only dreaming

For you know 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

Yes they'll all come to meet me

In the shade of that old oak tree

As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
