Green green grass of home lyrics

Artist  : Roger miller 
Song : Green green grass of home
 
The old hometown looks the same as I step down
from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there comes mary hair of
gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green green grass of home


Yes they’ve all come to meet me arms reaching
smiling sweetly
It’s so 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
And down the lane I’d walk with my sweet mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green green grass of home


Yes they’ve all come to meet me arms reaching
smiling sweetly
Lord it’s so good to touch the green green grass
of home


Then I awake and look around me at four gray
walls that surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming
For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre
arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak
Once again I’ll touch the green green grass of
home


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
