The old home town looks the same As I step down from my train
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry
(spoken) Then I awake and look around me At four grey walls that surround me

And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on

Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre Arm in arm, we'll walk

like cherries, It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
like cherries, It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
at daybreak, Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
