The old home town looks the same
C G
As I step down from the train

And there to meet me is my mama and papa

Hair of gold and lips like cherries
G D G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

All creatures smiling sweetly

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing

Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
