Elvis Presley - Green, Green Grass of Home lyrics

Album: Today (1975)

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama & papa
Down the road I look & there runs mary
Hair of gold & lips like cherries
It is good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they will all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It is good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
Though the pain´t is cracked & dry
And theres an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I will walk with my sweet mary
Hair of gold & lips like cherries
It is good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake & look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin´
Theres a guard & theres a sad old padre
Arm & arm we will walk at daybreak
Again I will touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they will all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
