Charley Pride - Green Green Gra** Of Home lyrics

It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home The old home town looks the same As I step down from the train And there to meet me is my mamma and pappa 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 gra** of home Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green gra** 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 And down the lane I walk with my why sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home Then I awake, and look around At the grey walls that surround And I realize that I was o-only dreaming For there's a guard and a there's a sad old padre Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak Again, I'll touch the green, green gra** 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 gra** of home
