J. Putman

1. The old home town looks so 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 runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Ch. Yes they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

2. 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
Down the lane I walked with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

3. Then I awake and look around me
There's four grey walls that surround me
Then I realised, realised that, that I'd only been dreaming
For there's a garden and there's a sad old park grave
On and on we'll walk at day break
Then again I'll touch the green green grass of home

Ch. Yes they'll all come to see me
'neath the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
