George Jones - Green, Green Gra** of Home lyrics

[Verse 1] The old home town Still looks the same As I step down from the train 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 cherry It's good to touch the Green, green gra** of home [Chorus] Yes, they'll all come to see me Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly When again I'll touch the Green, green gra** of home [Verse 2] The old home place is still standing Though the paint is cracked and dry There's the old oak tree That I once used to play on Down the lane I walk With my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's good to touch the Green, green gra** of home [Interlude] Then I awoke And I look around me At the four grey walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreaming For there's a guard And there's a sad old padre Where arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak As they lay me 'neath the Green, green gra** of home [Chorus]
