conway twitty – green, green grass of home lyrics
the old hometown
looks the same
as i step down from the train
and there to meet me
was my mama and my papa.
and 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 meet me
arms areached and 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 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 look around me
to 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, arm in arm
we’ll walk at daybreak
then again i’ll touch the
green, green gr-ss of home.
(sang)
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…
