The old home town
looks the same

As I step down from
the train
And there to meet me stood
my Mama and my Papa

Down the road I look,
and there stands Mary
Hair of gold and lips
like cherries

It's good to touch the
green, green grass of home
Yes, they all come to meet
me,
Hair of gold and lips
like cherries
It's good to touch the
green, green grass of home
Yes, they 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
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
(Spoken)
Then I awake
and look around me

At four grey walls that
surround me
And I realize, yes,
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
(Sung) Yes, they'll all come
to see me in the shade of
that old oak tree
(Sung) Yes, they'll all come
to see me in the shade of
that old oak tree

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