About

When you first listen, the song will make you believe that this is about an individual coming back home from being away for a long time. What we come to realize later is that the individual was daydreaming in his cell, and he confesses that he’ll only be returning home in a coffin.

Green, Green Grass of Home Lyrics

[Verse]
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from a train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the lane, I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

[Verse]
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's so good to touch the green, green grass of home

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

[Verse]
Then I awake and I look around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's the sad old padre
Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak
When 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
When they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home
