Felton Jarvis - Green, Green Gra** Of Home lyrics

[Verse 1: Elvis Presley] The old hometown looks the same As I step down from the train And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa Down the road I look and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home [Chorus: Elvis Presley] Yes, they'll all be there to meet me All creatures smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home [Verse 2: Elvis Presley] The old house is still standing Though the paint is cracked and dry And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home [Chorus: Elvis Presley] Yes, they'll all come to meet me Arms reaching, smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green gra** of home [Verse 3: Elvis Presley] Then I awake and look around me Four gray walls surround me And I realize I was only dreaming There's a guard and there's a sad old padre Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak Again I'll touch the green, green gra** of home [Chorus: Elvis Presley] Yes, they'll all come to meet me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me 'neath the green, green gra** of home
