green green grass of home (re-recorded) - porter wagoner lyrics

the old hometown looks the same
as i step down from the train
and there to meet me is my mama and papa
and down the road i look and there runs mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
it’s good to touch the green green gr-ss of home
yes, they’ve all come to meet me
arms areached smiling sweetly
it’s so good to touch the green green gr-ss 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’d walk with my sweet mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
it’s good to touch the green green gr-ss of home
then i awake and look around me
at these four gray walls that surround me
and i realized 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
and again i’ll touch the green green gr-ss 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 gr-ss of home
