The old hometown 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 comes mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
Its good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes theyve all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
Its so good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And theres that old oak tree that I used to play on
And down the lane Id walk with my sweet mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
Its good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes theyve all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
Lord its so good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me at four gray walls that surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming
For theres a guard and theres a sad old padre arm in arm well walk at daybreak
Once again Ill touch the green green grass of home

Yes theyll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
