Green Green Grass Of Home — текст песни (Hank Snow)

(It`s good to touch the green green grass of home)
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
And 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 areaching smiling sweetly
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
And then suddenly I awake and look around me
At these cold grey walls that surround me
And as then that I realize that I was only dreaming
For there stands a guard and there`s the sad old padre
Arm in arm we`ll walk at daybreak
And once 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
