The old home town 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 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 a'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 that old oak
Tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
And with my sweet 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 see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath
The green, green grass
Of home
