burl ives - green green grass of home lyrics
burl ives – green gr-ss of home
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 gr-ss of home
yes, they’ll all be there to meet me,
all creatures smiling sweetly
it’s 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 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 gr-ss 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 gr-ss 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 gr-ss of home
