Conway Twitty - Green Green Grass Of Home lyrics

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train

And there to meet me was my mama and my papa

And down the road I look and there runs Mary

Hair of gold and lips like cherry

It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms areached and 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

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary

Hair of gold and lips like cherry

It's good to touch the green green grass of home

[ steel ]

Then I awake and look around me

At these four grey walls that surround me

And I realize 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

Then again I'll 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 neath the green green grass of home
