Buddy Jewell - Green Green Grass of Home [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Yes they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Yes they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Verse 3]
[Spoken]
Then I awake and look around me
At the four gray walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreaming
[Sung]
There's the guard and there's the sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

[Chorus]
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
