roger miller - 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 mama and papa, down the road i look
and there comes 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 areaching, 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 and 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
yes, they’ve all come to meet me, arms areaching, smiling sweetly
lord, it’s so good to touch the green, green gr-ss of home
then i awake and look around me at four grey 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
once again i’ll touch the green, green gr-ss of home
yes, 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
