THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME
JOHNNY CASH
JOHNNY CASH AT FOLSOM PRISON[1968]
GThe old hometown looks theG7same
As ICstepped down from theGtrain
And there to meet me is my mama and myDpapaD7
Down theGroad I look andG7 there runs Mary
CHair of gold and lips like cherries
It'sGgood to touch theD7green 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
REFRAIN:
GYes they'll all come toG7see me
ArmsCreaching smiling sweetly
It'sGgood to touch theD7green 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
REFRAIN:
Yes they'' all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home.
