[00:00.69]Green, Green Grass Of Home - Porter Wagoner
[00:02.59]The old hometown looks the same
[00:04.46]
[00:05.34]As I step down from the train
[00:08.84]
[00:09.59]And there to meet me is my mama and papa
[00:16.28]
[00:17.84]And down the road I look and there runs Mary
[00:22.78]
[00:24.09]Hair of gold and lips like cherries
[00:27.78]It＇s good to touch the green,
[00:30.59]green grass of home
[00:35.09]
[00:35.59]Yes, they＇ve all come to meet me
[00:40.46]Arms are reached, smiling sweetly
[00:44.59]It＇s so good to touch the green,
[00:48.03]green grass of home
[00:52.46]
[00:53.53]The old house is still standing
[00:57.22]
[00:58.03]Though the paint is cracked and dry
[01:02.15]And there＇s that old oak tree
[01:05.15]that I used to play on
[01:09.34]
[01:10.65]Down the lane I＇d walk with my sweet Mary
[01:15.78]
[01:16.65]Hair of gold and lips like cherries
[01:20.41]It＇s good to touch the green,
[01:23.09]green grass of home
[01:27.78]
[01:32.78]Then I awake and look around me
[01:35.22]
[01:36.10]At these four gray walls that surround me
[01:39.16]
[01:41.72]And I realized that I was only dreaming
[01:45.35]
[01:47.71]For there＇s a guard
[01:49.40]and there＇s a sad old padre
[01:51.16]
[01:51.78]Arm in arm we＇ll walk at daybreak
[01:54.15]
[01:55.03]When again I＇ll touch the green,
[01:57.97]green grass of home
[01:59.53]
[02:00.97]They＇ll all come to see me
[02:05.22]In the shade of that old oak tree
[02:09.84]As they lay me ＇neath the green,
[02:12.91]green grass of home
