porter wagoner - green green grass of home lyrics
the old hometown looks the same as i step down from the train
and there to meet me is my momma and poppa
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 a reached 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 dried
and there’s that old oak tree that i used to play on
and down the lane i 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 wake and look around me
at these four gray 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
when 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…
