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 lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching 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 an old oak tree that I used to play on
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 grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me, arms reaching smiling sweetly
Oh, it's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
