Don Gibson - Green Green Gras Of Home Lyrics
The old home town looks the sameAs I step down from a trainThere to meet me are my mama and my papaDown the road I look and there runs MaryHair of gold and lips like cherriesIt's good to touch the green green grass of home.The old home is still standingThough the paint is cracked and dryThere's that old oak tree that I used to play onDown the lane I walk with my sweet MaryHair of gold and lips like cherriesIt's good to touch the green green grass of home.Then I awake and look around meAt the four grey walls that surround meAnd I realized, Yes, I was only dreamingFor there's a guard, and that sad old padreArm in arm we'll walk at daybreakAgain, I'll touch the green green grass of homeYes, they'll all come to see meIn the shade of that old oak treeAs they lay me neath the green green grass of home.
