Elvis Presley Green, Green Grass of Home
Written by Claude (Curly) Putnam, Jr. Elvis recorded it March 11, 1975.

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

Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
Oh It's good to touch the green, 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
Yeah 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

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

Then I awake and look around me
Four gray walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

    It's sad that this did not chart in America - not even on the country charts! It charted in the UK at #28. To me, his take of this classic and his 1975 album "Elvis Today" are criminally underrated. This song was so suited to his voice

    This is such a very beautiful, heartfelt, passionate and historic song and I'm so very glad that Elvis decided to record it. This is easily one of the greatest songs ever written. There'll never be another Elvis. This video was absolutely perfect in every way, 10 Stars as always Jackie.
