The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
And down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
Yes they'll 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 the old oak tree that I used to play on
And 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
Then I awake and look around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And then I realized that I was only dreaming
For there's the guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at day-break
Again I touch the green green grass of home
They'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green green grass of home
