Green Green Grass OF Home Lyrics

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my 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

(1st Bridge)
Yes they�ve all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
It�s good to touch the green green grass of home

(2)
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

(Spoken)
Then I awake and look around me
At the grey walls that surround me
Then I realize that I was only dreaming
(Sung)
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

(2nd Bridge)
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
