Green green grass of home

The old home town looks the same

as I step down from the train

and there to meet me is my mama and my papa

down the road I loko and there runs Mary

hair of gold and lips like cherries
C G G7 C F C
it's good to touch the green green grass of home
C C7 F
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
C G G7 C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
The old hous is still standing
though the paint is cracked and dry
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 arounde
four gray walls that surround me
and I realize I as only dreaming
for there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
again I touch the green green grass of home
