TOM JONES - Green Green Grass Of Home

[sauquoit13456]

JUST MISSED!!! "Green, Green Grass Of Home" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1966/67, it entered the charts on Dec. 24th, 1966!!!

[burtonrules123]

man was a sad song! my mom told me she loves it but cried when she found out the meaning behind it.

When i went to your wake Daddy, your casket was open, it tore my heart out to see you dead.When it was over, everyone left the room..i REFUSED to leave..I watched as they closed your casket.Chuck had to hold me up, I wish i could have helped carry your casket. I love you Daddy!

[thecolaratlady]

Rest In Peace Daddy! i hope i had nothing to do with your suicide on your 50th birthday Aug 8 1992 when i went to live with Chuck in 1984. You cried when i said i was leaving home.But Daddy, it was time for me to start my own family. .. I miss you so much Daddy! I cry daily over losing you.

[kw97278641]

Nice timeless hit !!!

[cutechrissyxo]

reminds me of driving on the freeway in naples florida with the windows rolled down and the sun on my face <3

[mizaguirre55]

Preciosa melodia que me devuelve a mis primeros bailes, increible y marabilloso Ton Jones.

[martolopi2]

Preciosa canción e interpretación que me ha emocionado al traerme recuerdos del año 68, pues la interpretábamos en un grupo musical por esa época.

[TheGreatTomJONES1]

i love this song !!!

[tommieparch]

no matter where your from in this world, this song takes you home & dont take that for granted, because alot of people are not blessed with bein able to go home again...

[maggievaughan59]

Reminds me of happy childhood days in Newton St Cyres, Devon



[Squab1972]

This was played at my Sister in laws funeral may she RIP

[windstorm1000]

I remember when my parents played this on our record player in WI--even as a young child I understand the beauty but sadness of this song. It's one of the one most touching songs ever written.

[mrsmuci62]

Beautiful voice!

[almartpe]

thom, whatt fantastic mannnnnnnnn for forever.

[TehUltimateBloxxer]

This song was played at my Grandfather's, John H. Chisholm's, funeral. He covered this song, and many others. May he rest in peace, and in my memories. <3

[BringBackTheM40A3]

Fantastic

[nv7103]

I thought it was about a man waking up after a botox operation ;) Seriously fantastic talent and here's a wish they never lose the recording. :)))

[myboylollipop09]

Wonderful strong live performance by Tom..Back in the days when you had to do it right the first time because it was LIVE! and there was no background track running to save you if you screwed it up..The days of real talent!!

[microphonegarage]

See kids.... this is what a real song sounds like.

You know... before "auto-tuning"

[encyclopediaprincess]

My father introduced me to Englebert, Tom Jones, Timi Yuro, and many more when I was just 3 and ever since then I've loved them. They are like my medicine when times are rough.

[foreverxillxlovexyou]

my daddy used to sing this to me when I was little, because my name's mary (: Still the only 16 year old out of all my friends who has this entire song memorized.

[gr8vibes2]

Definitely one of his best!

[tuckersgrl]

Over the years I have heard many renditions of this song, and nobody does it like Tom. He puts so much feeling into singing this song. Being from Wales myself, I can honestly say that when I hear him sing this, I get homesick. Mr. Jones, you do Wales and it's people justice. Thank you Sir Jones. I just came back from being back home a month ago, and driving through Pontypridd, the only thing missing from home was YOU!!

[narmenaz]

He is already 70 yrs old, BUT TOP FIT! Damn what a guy! ;)

[gonebaad24]

He is incredibly sexy.

[twlldinpobsais]

Chwarae teg i ti yr hen Dom, un or goreuon!

[nicknaz49]

When I came home in 1969, the dead were put into standard military gray coffins

and as we loaded each one on the plane, a chaplain said prayers. The reference to anti-war still stands, ya git and if you don't see it, it's due to your limited perspective. It was also used in anti-war rallies as an anti-war song, so unless you have some inside perspective from actual life, get a life.

[francescicluna]

Great video

[Prosty3]

This is a very touching song. Well done by Tom Jones!

[MsPsycho29]

Dashen gut chacon miit fulles forn stomper in amer in ghanafeets erigh ni fallamo.

[Carl1sWelsh]

Is there a Welshman alive who does not claim this song, i dont think so. I live in Texas now but im a Valley boy until i die and i hope my ashes find their way to the Green Green Grass of Home when my time Comes. You can take the boy out of Wales but you cant take Wales out of the boy

[busterdog4404]

@Carl1sWelsh but ya can wale on the boy,lol

[adamc1407]

@Carl1sWelsh RIP Gary Speed

[alyuful]

tj forever !

[ladybluluv]

Song written by Curly Putnam who was the owner of 'Junior's Farm' that Paul McCartney wrote about in his song. He and Wings stayed there for a few weeks getting ready for a big tour.

[marriedtoapoet]

There's a faint suggestion, in the military drum-beat of the opening, and in the piano style, that the song may refer to the American Civil War, perhaps relating to the execution of a Confederate deserter or spy. [Mario Petrucci]

[whirlyfan]

fav tom song didn't elvis sing this too ?someone covered it !/?

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@whirlyfan

A lot of people did versions of this song. I'm not really who did it first. Elvis may have done a version of "Green, Green Grass of Home." I wouldn't be surprised. The first version I heard was by Johnny Cash on a live album he did at Folsom Prison. Porter Wagoner also did a version.

[BPMONKMAN]

@A1l2l2e2n4 So did Merle Haggard, & George Jones.

[BASKETBALLJEZUS]

@whirlyfan yes and not only elvis but allso johnny cash but i don't like johnny cash cus he's voice is 2 nagging Joan Baez covered it and a lot of other singers 2

[ioanalazar1]

Great song! Thanks for sharing!

My mum loved Tom Jones ... so i grew up listening to him ... sadly its 2 years next week since my mum passed away .... but we played this song at her funeral .... so now it will always hold a special place in my heart .... i love you mum xx

[bridgetown45]

When I joined the British Army in Hampshire , a few weeks after leaving the Caribbean,while on basic training I used to play this song every morning during NAAFI break . One of the NAAFI ladies asked me if I was feeling home sick. Indeed I did.This has remained one of my favourite songs.

[MrAlex200468]

Thanks to my RIP dad who has introduced me the song like this when I was four or five..and it made me impressed so much...

[SavingPrivateBob]

Dreadful. Good that he is able to sing what he wants to today, instead of this fluffy garbage. GREAT VOICE, TALENTED MAN. Just thankful his newer songs are much better. :)

[barbaboro]

The most beautifull voice ever sings the most beautifull song ever. Tom is one.

[kendraj33]

One of my Most Favorite Tom Jones Songs...SAW HIM IN CONCERT COUPLE YEARS AGO...HE WAS AMAZING...Kendra

[pufu2017]

SUPER.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GerrieMCraig]

My Father used to play this in the car when I was a child. <3

[duncangray2011]

in the river danue they stand 70 deep, warriors of skelatons, in india.

[mizwyn]

to stop this argument whether he's a brit or not, this is all i can say.

Tom sang "God save the Queen" at pacquiao-hatton fight. and for those who's not familiar of Philippines it is a democratic country, means no queen

[mizwyn]

i first heard this song when i was 8yo and i thought this was a happy song about coming home after being away for long years. now i'm 22 and when i listened up to the end and heard "as they lay me 'neath the green green grass..." i said i've been duped. this song reminds me of country life where there's a Mary, old oak tree and green grass

[GirlsAloudMad64]

@gypsymafia85 WTF tom is from wales u dipshit

[whippetlad1976]

@gypsymafia85 he is welsh doh!

[spread7769]

cigo 2010 your gay find a man.

[benthejrporter]

Tom looks so young there!

[rgarcia77]

This song had allot of meaning back when it came out in the US during the Viet Nam war. Friends over there thought it was almost written and sung for them. Great Tom Jones rendition.

[schmui]

@gypsymafia85 alright, ok, you're joking. sometimes it takes a while.

[schmui]

@gypsymafia85 you're too dumb to google lmfao

[haissa77]

encore un grand bravo a Tom Jones

[BRm2008]

hes a fave singer of mine.

[staceyrsteele]

Tom Jones was born and raised in Wales; he is not an American!!! Super sexy voice and ruggedly handsome....bet he did some rollin' around in the green green grass when he was a wee nipper!!! Luv from Canada

[ilovebagpuss2008]

I had the honor of meeting the songwriter, Curly Putman, today. Great guy... Great song!!

[1habicher]

Wonderful song that takes me back too and nearly 3 Milkl. viewers that looked at here and many Mill. more that have heard it. You are the Greatest of all the Singers that lasted in time. Just great to hear it again and I will hear it many more times and know I am just one fan of many Mill.

[MrKriegler1]

Wales the green green grass of home. what a lucky lad to be from that beautiful land.

[stonerose86]

I went to see Tom at haydock park on saturday and he still sings this note perfect. An absolute living legend.

[macvatu]

I was serving as a squaddie stationed in Fallingbostel, W Germany when this song was released in late'67, and my mate Taff couldn't stop playing it. And at the Naafi Club we would get drunk and sing along to this song. Poor Taff was in tears most the time. It's so Welsh, isn't it???

[uzalabraham]

this song bring my memories young at the 1961 .. remember with my first i, m leave my country birth Rumah Sakit Balimbingan at Pematang Siantar - and i,m sty at the England now.. don,t know when back to Siantar and to Pondok 1 Jalan Kemiri 1belakang Super Market Simpang Limun -- oh sweet memories.. bung wsu...

[SraidMacSuibhne]

This song was number one in the charts when I was born!

[ClareDan5050]

Brings back memories when I was a kid. My parents used to buy karaoke VCDs playing all the 70s songs... That was during the late 90s though. This is one of the song I fell in love when I first heard them.

[nicknaz49]

This was an antiwar song about the return of a fallen soldier buried in the Green Green Grass of Home. This was a beautiful song then, and just as meaningful now.

[thevinayjap]

@nicknaz49 Anti-war? This song is about a prisoner who is about to be put to death the next morning. At best it is an "anti-death-penalty" song, if that. No doubting it is a beautiful song and very touching. But let's not give it more importance than is necessary.

[No1More1Mr1Nice1Guy1]

@nicknaz49 i think youve made a wee mistake. its about a man sentenced to death...

[hensca]

@nicknaz49 I believe it's about a man in prison.

[wasadoc]

@hensca That is correct--listen to the words--

[lauren65100]

[alexaadap]

[1998gina]

Tom is a very beautiful and talented man.

I love both his and Elvis's covers

[psun1234]

[llabful]

this song should be sung a bit faster, he drags it out too much

[jbailez]

I live Tom's rendition of this song - it touches me more and more as I get older. We will all reach our final destination some day, and some of us, before we cross, will be lucky enough to awake from a dream were we relive our sweetest moments. The sweetness of the scene evoked by this song is as good as it gets.

[0kcomputer]

Not that Tom Jones sings it badly, but when you hear Tom's version after Elvis' version, makes you understand why they called Elvis the King.

[GreenBasterdPU]

This song was played at my Grandma's funeral and everytime I listen to it,

it makes me think of her and my childhood. Love this song!

[christianatienza21]

now this is real music.. i sooo love it

[Cigo2010]

When I first heard this song I was a young man.

I was abroad, as a sailor and I listened to this song on my little radio my father-in-law had given me as a present. My wife (my Mary, that is) waited for me at home.

As I listened to this song I looked at four grey walls, just as in the song, and thought of home. Brings back fond memories of back in the day.

[geoffwhite100]

@Cigo2010

walls ? you mean bulk heads

[josephdwight]

@geoffwhite100 I guess it's figurative



[Galanthus63]

@geoffwhite100

Sigh.

[MyPaulHenry]

@Cigo2010

Notice how he (a Brit) faithfully uses an American accent in this American song. He is overlooked today because of the lack of variety shows, indeed, actual musical artists. Instead we must endure American Idols, amateurs.

[jake180289]

@Cigo2010 Lovely story, what a load of shit

[thejedas]

@Cigo2010 except you werent getting executed...

[Dutchy1965]

@Cigo2010 I was a Sailor too and thought the same when I heard this song

[ironman2ization]

the only bad thing about this song is that it lasts too short. but, then again, there's always replay button ;)

[6digit]

[CrazyforDonnyOsmond]

One singular voice, I love his voice!

[Kelspeed1972]

Thanks Tom for your music enabling me to bed many o' women and stay STD free.

[alunhughes147]

l remember this coming out in 1967. ..lt was supposed to be released in the Autumn of 66 but was delayed due to a terrible disaster just a few miles from Pontypridd , South Wales where Tom was born . A giant mountain of coal mining waste gave way in heavy rain and slid down the hillside hitting a school and rows of terraced houses in the village of Aberfan in the valley below .146 people including 116 children died that day....so they delayed bringing out this song in respect of those gone on

[susjoh60866]

@alunhughes147........@ Alan I remember that terrible day.....its a long time ago but the memory is still clear..

[alunhughes147]

@susjoh60866 Yes , for those of us old enough to remember the disaster of Aberfan , the memory of that dreadful day will stay with us forever ...... regards

[oudzuidNL]

i wish i could do this on karaoke-evening in the local bar.

[speedsville]

@oudzuidNL Why can't you?

[speedsville]

@oudzuidNL Why can't you? I plan on doing it at Karaoke.

[oudzuidNL]

@speedsville my voice is horrible .

[speedsville]

@oudzuidNL That shouldn't stop you, I do Karaoke without a great or even good voice.

Others do it with out a good voice too.

But if you have a good KJ who is on the ball, they can tune the out put with echo and key and make it come out good, AND by doing it you will get surprisingly better. I have, after years of people telling me I couldn't sing and now doing Karaoke, I get great reaction even when I just sing without music or help.

Go for it! Whats the worst that will happen?

[oudzuidNL]

@oudzuidNL well thank you for the positive vibration !!!

[dontey46158]

I thought it was a soldier too. Looked up the words on Wikipedia, and when he says "there's a guard and a sad old padre". Now that describes a prisoner on death row, going to his execution.

[mckinley5]

the four grey walls are his coffin...a soldier returning from the Vietnam War

[miltank2]

@mckinley5 Im pretty sure its a prisoner on death row looking at the grey walls that surrond him, but thanks for the different outlook on the song.

[mckinley5]

@miltank2 All these years I always thought it was a soldier...never saw the prison video.

[Jzahara26]

Beautiful song , brings back good old memories when the family use to sit around and talk story and listen to music... reminiscing....

[markcosborne]

@Jzahara26 you and @nogoodusername667 are both right...we was dreaming before waking up in his prison cell and being be led to his execution

[nogoodusernames667]

He's In Prison, About To Go Down For Somethin. He's Dreamin About Mary And Her Hair Of Gold and Lips Like Cherries, thinking about home so intensely he thought he was home. Well done Tom, such a gentlemen, even when panties are thrown in your face.

[justinlastnamefoster]

@nogoodusernames667 ...i actually think he is singing about his funeral.... listen to the very last line.. he says "they lay me beneath the green green grass......" but i could be wrong

[blupaul1]

Recommended listening.............

[TheJeanae]

Thank You..This was My Mom Mary..Favorite Song, She passed away 7 yrs ago..Such A beautiful but Sad Song!! What an Artist!!

Good lord, what a voice!!!
