  S1:
  The old home town looks the same 

  As I step down from the train 

  And there to meet me 

  Is my Mama and Papa

  R1:
  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

  R2:
  Yes, they'll all come to meet me 

  Arms reaching, smiling sweetly 

  It's good to touch 

  The green, green, grass of home

  S2:
  The old house is still standing 

  Tho' the paint is cracked and dry 

  And there's that old oak tree 

  That I used to play on

  R3:
  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

  Rc:
  Then I awake and look around me  

  At the four grey walls that surround me 

  And I realize 

  Yes, I was only dreaming 

  For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre  

  Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak 

  Again I touch 

  The green, green grass of home

  R4:
  Yes, they'll all come to see me 

  In the shade of that old oak tree 

  As they lay me neath 

  The green, green grass of home
