Lyrics:

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 comes Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries,
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.
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 home.

Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly,
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Then I wake and look around me
To the cold gray walls that surround me,
And then I realize that I was only dreaming.
There's the guard and the sad old padre,
Arm in 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 oak tree,
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
