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
5

Hair of gold and lips
like cherries

It's good t'b touch the
green, green grass of home
Yes, they all come to meet
me,
Hair of gold and lips
like cherries
It's good t'b 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 theplane I walk
with my Sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips
like cherries

It's good to touch the
green, green grass of home
(Spokenr
Then I awake
and look around'me

At four ngy walls that
surround Tne
And I realize, yes,
I was only dreaming

I-

For there's a guard and
there's a sad old Padre
5

Arm in arm we'll walk
at daybreak

Again l'Jl tod'ch the green,
green grass of home
(Sung) Yes, they'll all. come
to see me in the shade of
that old oak tree

I-
(Sung) Yes, they'll all. come
to see me in the shade of
that old oak tree

I- I-

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