Green, Green Grass Of Home Lyrics - Today - Elvis Presley

The old home town looks the same 

As I step down from the train 

And there to meet me is my mama and my papa 

Down the road I look and there runs Mary 

Hair of gold and the lips like cherries 

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home 

Yes, they'll all come to meet me 

Arms reachin', smiling sweetly 

Oh, it's good to touch the green, green grass 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 

Yeah, down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary 

Hair of gold and the lips like cherries 

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home 

Yes, they'll all come to meet me 

Arms reachin', smiling sweetly 

Oh, it's good to touch the green, green grass of home 

Then I awake and look around me 

At four gray walls that surround me 

And I realize 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 grass of home 

Yes, they'll all come to see me 

In the shade of that old tree 

As I lay me in the green, green grass of home
