Merle Haggard - Green Green Grass Of Home Lyrics

Send Green Green Grass Of Home Ringtone to your Cell

The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
There to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the green green gra*s of home

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's so good to touch the green green gra*s of home

Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms outreached smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green gra*s of home

Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green gra*s of home

Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
And they lay me 'neath the green green gra*s of home
