Johnny Cash - Green, Green Grass of Home lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Green, Green Grass of Home lyrics]

The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my 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

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 walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green
Green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to see me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green
Green grass of home



Then I awake and look around me
To the cold gray walls that surround me
And then I realize I was only dreaming
For there's a guard, and a sad old padre
Arm in arm, I walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green
Green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of the old tree as they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home

Thank you very much
This next song was written by a
Man right here in Folsom Prison
And last night was the first time
I've ever sung the song
Anyway, this song was written by
Our friend Glenn Shirley, and–
Um, hope we do your song justice, man
We're gonna do our best
