george jones – green green grass of home lyrics
green, green gr-ss of home
the old home town
still looks the same
as i step down from the train
there to meet me
is my mama and my papa.
down the road i look
and there runs mary
hair of gold and lips like cherry
it’s good to touch the
green, green gr-ss of home.
yes, they’ll all come to see me
arms a-reachin’, smiling sweetly
when again i’ll touch the
green, green gr-ss of home.
the old home place is still standin’
though the paint is cracked and dry
there’s the old oak tree
that i once 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 gr-ss of home.
— instrumental —
(spoken)
then i awoke
and i look around me
at the 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,
where arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak
as they lay me ‘neath the
green, green gr-ss of home.
(sang)
yes, they’ll all come to see me
arms a-reachin’, smilin’ sweetly
when again, i’ll touch the
green, green gr-ss of home…
