Green,green grass of home
                                                                                                                              
The old home town looks this same
As I step down from the train there
And there's to meet me is my mama and papa                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                          
Refrain 1
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                                                                                                                                                             
Refrain 2
Yes they all come to meet me
In my arms smiling sweetly                                                                                                                  
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The old house is still standing
To the paint is cracked and dry
And there's the old oak tree 
That I used to play on

Refrain 1

When I awake and look around me  
and four grey walls look suround me
and I realise yes I was only dreamin'
For there is a god and there is a settle Parkley
On and on we walk a daybrake
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
