Green, Green Grass of Home Lyrics

Green, Green Grass Of Home (Live) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)

Written by:C. Putman/Curly Putma

The old home town looks the same

 

As I step down from the train

 

And there to meet me is my mama and my papa

 

Down the road I look and there comes 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 the 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

 

Arms reaching smiling sweetly

 

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

 

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 in arm we'll walk at daybreak

 

Again I'll touch the green green grass of home

 

Yes they'll all come to see me

 

In the shade of the old oak tree

 

 

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