[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The old home t
own looks the
same
As I step down
from the trai
n
And there to m
eet me is my m
ama and p
apa
Down the road
I look, and th
ere runs Mary
Hair of gold,
and lips like
cherries
It's good to t
ouch the green
, green grass
of home.
[Chorus]
Yes, they'll a
ll come to mee
t me,
Arms reaching,
smiling sweet
ly
It's good to t
ouch the green
, green grass
of home
[Verse 2]
The old house
is still stand
ing
Though the pai
nt is cracked
and dry
And there's th
at old oak tre
e 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 t
ouch the green
, green grass
of home
[Verse 3]
Then I awake,
and look aroun
d me
At four grey w
alls that surr
ound me
And I realise,
yes, I was on
ly dreaming
For there's a
guard, and the
re's a sad old
Padre
Arm in arm we'
ll walk at day
break
Again I'll tou
ch the green,
green grass of
home.
[Chorus]
Yes, they'll a
ll come to see
me
In the shade o
f that old oak
tree
As they lay me
'neath the gr
een, green gra
ss of home
