Circle left
*The old hometown looked the same
As I stepped down from the train
There to meet me was my mama and papa
Left allemande the corner lady
Turn your partner by the right
Men star left, roll it round
Turn your partner by the right, go left allemande
Swing and you promenade the floor
**They'll all come to meet me, arms reaching out to greet me
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Heads (sides) square thru four hands you go
Dosado that corner lady
Swing thru and now men trade and men run
1/2 tag the line, then walk and dodge
Chase to the right, then swing the corner lady
Promenade around the floor
They'll all come to see me, and never, never leave me
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The old house is still standin'
Though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
*Then I awoke and looked around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreamin'
**They'll all come to meet me, arms reaching smiling sweetly
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home
