Elvis Presley - Green, Green Grass Of Home lyrics

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 be there to meet me,

All creatures 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 an old oak tree that I used to play on

Down the lane I`ll 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 around me

Cold gray walls surround me

And I realize that I was only dreamin`

There`s a guard and there`s a sad old padre

Arm and arm we`ll walk at daybreak

Again I`ll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they`ll all be there to meet me In the shadow of that old oak tree As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
