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 papaAnd down the road I look
And there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of homeYes, they've all come to meet me, arms a-reached smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green, green grass of homeThe old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play onAnd down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of homeThen I awake and look around me
At these four gray walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
But there's a guard and there's that sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreakAnd again I'll touch the green, green grass 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 grass of home

Porter Wayne Wagoner (August 12, 1927 – October 28, 2007) was an American country music singer. Famous for his flashy Nudie suits and blond pompadour, Wagoner introduced a young Dolly Parton to his long-running television show. Together, "Porter and Dolly" were a well-known duet team for many years. Parton wrote the song "I Will Always Love You" after Wagoner suggested she shift from story songs to focus on love songs.
