Piet Veerman Green Green Grass Of Home
The old home town 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 grass of home
Yes they'll all be there to meet me
Al creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
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
I'ts good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls that surround me
And I realise, that I was only dreaming'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home
