  • i'm just a fan from him sinds yesterday and every version i hear from this song this 1 is my favorite version of it the worst version of this song is the johnny cash version cus i don't like johnny cash i think he sucks but i like tom jones he's my 3th favorite singer on 1st place it's frank sinatra & in 2nd place it's dean martin and then comes sir TOM JONES!!! :') and i'm only a 21 year old guy they say that this kind of music don't fits with my age but i don't care i even like justin bieber

  • @BASKETBALLJEZUS you have no taste in music if you think johnny cash sucks, he is one of the greatest country singers of all time. not the greatest but one of. if you think he sucks go fuck yourself

  • @fabfivegoodhue22 ok that's my opinion my fav country singer is RODNEY CARRINGTON!!! XD and i'm 21 and i'm also a JUSTIN BIEBER fan XD and if this is your opinion go a head no prob 4 me ;)

  • @fabfivegoodhue22 : I couldn't agree with your assessment anymore; but please watch the language. This is an open channel with young tender eyes.

  • thumbs up if u new that he was in jail before u saw the video

  • Fin, men trist sang. Hør bare på teksten....

  • Listened to this song when I was young and liked the melody but never really listened to the words. Then one day the true meaning dawned on me and the song bcame even more poignant.

  • Its the best song!!!

  • Don't touch the grass tom you will go back to jail and have to sing it again lol

  • ❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫ Yea Tom , i got 20yrs for THE GREEN GREEN GRASS IN MY HOME fuck❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*­❤❤♫❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*❤❤♫•*❤♫•*❤­❤♫

  • what a voice, what a song , what a man.

    fan for life =)

  • Beautiful.....

  • as i awake and look around me at four grey walls that surround me and then i realise i'm thinking in square rooms

  • The melody is beautiful, Tom Jones' voice is superb. But the lyrics are so intense that I almost can't absorb it.

  • Nice one Tom

  • sehr traurig, er wird seine eltern nie wieder sehen.

  • sniff ! can't help crying when i hear that song ! beautiful song and wonderful voice

  • Comment removed

  • Moj dom jest tam gdzie trawa sie zieleni.

  • Memories of my grandad singing this come rushing back to me whenever I hear this song, I miss you so much RIP xxxx

  • love this song ...it always brings a tear to my eye...

  • such an emotional song!!! i grew up listening to it and it made me cry then too!!! very poignant as i'm going to uni in 2 weeks... :'( <3

  • my father always played this song when he was still alive ..so many memories

  • it makes me cry : (

  • It's much better when the last verse is spoken, and the listener realizes that the upbeat cheerful lyrics of the first two verses that have been sung are "only a dream," and that the bitter fate awaits the singer. The change of pace reflects the change of mood.

    But it would be better if the sung portions took place outside of the cell, perhaps in a grassy field. This video gives away the likely ending, which carries much more punch when it comes as a terrible shock.

  • yeahhh the green grass :) I love road trips passing through rolling fields ahhhh I wish I could live longerrr

  • I've been singing this song all my life....it's my all time favorite song...and im just 23...i definitely love this song so much....the power the emotion and everything about this song...aahh the good old days...when music matters unlike the music today so full of shiittttt....

  • spoilers!

  • @prettyjohnshill

    Green green grass :)

  • who ise the fucking 13 bastards?

  • @prettyjohnshill I think you're thinking of an old film, "How Green Was My Valley." Porter Wagoner, a country singer, did this first, in 1965. Tom's version is great, but then, before he got old and his voice started to go, he could do anything from Paul Anka (She's a Lady) to Prince (Kiss).

  • Gives me the chills. The caliber of the classics.

  • @prettyjohnshill actually, my mum said its about a guy on death row in america, if you think of it, the last verse kind of makes sense of that :)<3

  • My mom's fave song and now its mine... the lyrics is so inspiring

  • Song after he 'killed' Delilah :)

  • What a fucking voice!!!

  • The great great Tom Jones. This is music y'all.

  • g.g.grass = ??

    four gray wall = jail :) ... /watch?v=-hHcbgZWmVM&feature=B­Fa&list=FLsoN73WKal1k&index=3

  • as i awake and look around me at four grey walls that surround me and then i realise yeh, i,m in a chalet at butlins.

  • One of the best songs ever.

    Thank you.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • I remember this episode. I used to wake up at 2 or 3 am listen to the transistor radio with tiny earplug and wait for this song to come on

  • I understand how this song can make some people sad, but for me its always a burst of pure euphoria. Transports me to another place completely every time!

  • Ton Jones had one of the most dynamic voices in the music industry..what a great tune this was..!

  • It was 22nd September, 1981, moments after midnight, my best friend, Lieutenant Rafique was hanged at the age of 23, a victim of an international plot by IMF to bring my country to its knees so that their prescription could be enforced.

    Like this hapless character, he was in a condemn cell of Jessore Jail, Bangladesh.

    ''''..and did I tell you that it was his one of the most favourite songs?

  • Im 14, there are plenty of bands with great lyrics and vocals and melodies and harmonies, but none of them ever get onto the radio or the charts. I wish my generation got more heartfelt and brilliant songs like this.

  • My face during the entire video

    :'(

    This song is so awesome!

  • Makes me cry every time! Love you Tom!

  • My father loved this song,it is almost his song.miss you Dad,I know you are an angel now.

  • Nothing like a dream to yank you out of a nightmare. This is what makes folk music so real, so all-encompassing. This song proves how we miss the simplest & dearest things in life when they're unreachable. The need for love & comfort transcends the lust for material things. A condemed person longs for the warmth & comfort of his home, his love & a simple albeit fulfilling life. These are the pleasures to be carved onto that ol' oak tree, & into your heart.

  • im 15 and i like rap and r'n'b but i fucking love this song <3

  • who can dislike this video its so emotional.

  • @gipper431 only reason i would dislike it myself is because Tom is behind bars lol

  • @gipper431 i dislike emos

  • @harrychown1989 wow... im not even emo

  • long live tom jones, nobody could sing this song like him. this song also brought tears to my mother and my eyes when we heard it. a fan til the day he dies and even after..

  • Check out Dave lennard a great new live vocalist trying to get some recognition

  • Over the top. But I Like Tom Jones. He sang the wrong repertoire a lot of times. But oh man what a voice!

  • i love this song soo much.

    Thoese bars look just wide enough for him to squeeze out of

  • This is a great song...Mycket bra!

    Hasse in Sweden.

  • i love this songg..!!

  • this song will always mean so much to me.. my dad taught me this song when i was a little girl love you dad

  • Love conquers all

  • To jest najpiękniejsze wykonanie! Ile tęsknoty, ile empatii... Późniejsze wykonania były w innej aranżacji... To- to Nr.1!!!

  • 12 ppl dont have a green green grass of home

    i feel sad for u ppl

  • This is a great song. A prisoner on death row singing about the people he loves that await the outcome of his final demise.

  • I never realized this song was about a man on death row about to be executed... "there's a guard and there's a sad old Padre, arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak..." back when I used to hear this as a child. How sad!

  • Esta canción, en general para todos aquellos que han salido de sus paises por la intolerancia y el autoritarismo, en especial a los venezolanos de la mal llamada Venezuela bolivariana y a los cubanos que han tenido que salir de su tierra perseguidos por el régimen castrista

  • Love this song, even though it makes me cry everytime I hear it!

  • This rendition is one of the best !

  • when i leave WALES i think of this song !!!

  • well done in wales to the eropean golf team to win the ryder cup

  • I remember hearing this song performed on TV when I was a child and crying in my room and not understanding why. I think it 's the sad tone of the song. But a very beautiful song.

  • great stuff

  • This song reminds me of my late mother, this was her favorite song

  • das lied von beggi und maigge....!!!!!!!!!!!

  • one of Tom Jones' best songs. He has great voice. One of the great singers ever. When you could still understand the words sung and the songs had real meaning.

    Regards from Israel :) (I could not stop thinking about our captive Gilad Shalit who is held by Hammas in Gaza more than 4 years, and not even allowed Red Cross visits. I hope very much he will be home too, to touch the green green grass of home, soon)

  • I love you, Tom. The Welsh Elvis Presley.

  • This was Tom Jones at his very best singing all them years ago - its my favorite song of tom jones - Yes one day they will all come to meet me, but i was only dreaming !!!

  • This song was my dad's favorite song, he use to sing it when we had karaoke parties, and it just made me cry. My dad passed away three weeks after my older sister. When I hear this song it still puts tears in my eyes. It was played the day he passed and it was played the day we said our final farewell. I always think of him and also my sister when i hear it.

  • @montijo720 May God bless and watch over you, your Dad and sister.

  • sung at my friends wake after 10 years inside now he can be with his wife rip rob

  • im so sorry to read about all the people who have passed away,it kinda gets to me,i always thought this song was from the perspective of a man who had died,and that he loved to see them but couldnt,i saw a documentery and this song was included,it doesnt go as such with what i thought,but a poinant song,one to get to your heart strings,my heart to those who have lost someone,i really mean it,i wish you all well.

  • great melody; this is my favorite song

  • Strangely, this moving song is my parent's wedding song. It is their 45th wedding anniversary this weekend.  This will be featured. I think there will be tears....

  • This song is talking about a man going to be executed. He says that there is a guard and a sad ole padre (priest)..arm in arm we will walk at daybreak

  • Why was he in jail?

  • listen to Delilah by Ton Jones then you will know why he is in jail.

  • @CortezInc55 a bad hairstyle

  • A total classic!

  • Pure Genius :)

  • This classic and a few other great country songs were written by Curley Putman, a singer/songwriter who grew up in Princeton, Alabama, a very rural area in the Southern Appalachian foothills. My Father is from there and knew him. Curley is now in the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.

  • My mother played this song all the time when I was a little girl and she would cry. I never knew what the song was about, but I knew that I didn't like it because it made Mom so sad. Now, Ii understand it and it makes me miss her. WOW! Amazing song.

  • Beautiful story!

  • @Tink2127 Your mom would love what you just said, cos she would know that you loved her and she would know that that is a precious thing, that your child loves you!

  • @Tink2127  my mom toooooooo

  • @kmoggie1 It's such an emotional song and it tells a STORY! This is what music should be about- not bragging about how many girls you have or keys you've sold.

  • @Tink2127 My mom loved this song too..Her Name was Mary , she passed away 7 yrs ago..brings back so many memories! It is Amazing:-)

  • @Tink2127

    I understand you... Wish you all good from Poland.I.

  • @Tink2127 same here :(

  • Man... talk about a SPOILER video !!!

  • lol, so agree...

  • @collinsneluat LOL couldn't agree more :-)

  • @collinsneluat - Sort of makes it anticlimatic doesn't it?

  • f**k 'n alcatraz on frisco bay...

  • my family loves these song

  • Thank you Tom !!!! Happy Birthday Juni 2010 70 Years young, and so cool!!!!!!! The best singer!!!Angela

  • kanta dito sa accomodation sa amin sa Qatar kapag me b-day!!!

    :D:D:D ;)

  • MY mom's fave song.... green grass of home

  • Wunderschön

  • Comment removed

  • One of Tom Jones' greatest songs. So beautifully sung!!!! brings back sooooo many memories...

  • Bring the troops home so thay can kiss the green green grass of home

  • And some soldiers from many countries will do the same when they can leave Afganistan and Irak and return home.

    Hey former Mr President Mr Bush: 'Do you take your afternoon cup of coffe now on your ranch, or?'

    Great song, great singer!

  • I must say, that it is not right of me to write a politic comment to this song.

    But I can also write: 'Good bless the Troops.'

    Hope you will come back in good health after your mission. You are all brave.

  • @petereuropa i agree we should we should aplaud all the troops there , we should also question why they are actually there , although the the boys and girls are only doing as they are told .

  • HA!

  • this song gave hope to many who served in Vietnam some would actually kiss home soil once they were home.

  • I guess the green green grass is synonymous with the Green Mile Movie.

    Green Mile Moive-Set on Death Row in a Southern prison in 1935, The Green Mile is the remarkable story of the cell block's head guard, who develops a poignant, unusual relationship with one inmate ...

  • ok cortezinc55 signal green green grass LYRICS on google you'll understand quite well the sad story.

  • Why is he in jail? What did he do?

  • to drtorchwood how would feel about the death penalty if you had your daughter and two grandaughter murdered and they had nothing to do with the reason for such a act grand childen was ten and six

    think about that

  • it sucks man and its just sooo wrong!!

    i think what drtorchwood meant was that he loved the song but not the reason of y the guy is in jail...but thanks fpr clarifying the whole reason of why he ws in jail!

  • LA MEJOR VOZ e INTERPRETACION.

    Siempre me a gustado esta hermosa canción sin saber la traducción , TOM JONES INTERPRETA con tanto sentimiento y expresión no hace falta saber el significado, pero ahora que esta su letra la hace mucho mas valiosa y es un clasico.

    Gracias por la letra-

  • Wonderful! How great it is that Tom's image and astounding voice can be immortalized in film. :-)

  • SUPER, SUPER, SUPER

  • Engelbert is so much better in this song,just compare impartially.

  • This song is the greatest

  • This song makes me cry. I was researching mentions of the death penalty in music for a project, and when I realised what this song was really about it's so sad :(

    I wish we'd stop killing our own citizens. It chills my blood just to think about it

  • The man's got it going on :)

  • I have always heard "there's God and there's sad old poetry...on and on we walk". I have always wondered what on earth...

    Thanks for the lyrics now I finally understand the whole song!

  • sad old padre, not poetry

  • just to die for! it's my choice but nothing smells and looks better than the old green grass of home. always brings more than just tears rolling down my face...TJ is my man.

  • been filmed in the old Alcatraz prison on Frisco Bay, praise the lord that damn jail is now closed. F**k'n Alcatraz...
