Green, Green Grass Of Home Lyrics By Tom Jones

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 reaching smiling sweetly
it’s good to touch the green green grass of home
the old house is still standing
tho’ 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 cherries
it’s good to touch the green green grass of home
yes they’ll all come to meet me
arms reaching smiling sweetly
it’s good to touch the green green grass of home

spoken
then i awake and look around me
at the four grey walls that surround me
and i realize yes i was only dreaming
for there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre
arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak
again i 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 neath the green green grass of home
