Best version ever recorded, those days Tom and Engelbert were on top with Gordon Mills, THE MANAGER who EVENTUALLY make them STARS.

[THEIronEVANKINGLIVE]

This song makes me cry. My Abuelo (Grandpa) just told me he wants this to be played at his funeral. I dont want to hear this song anytime soon. :'(

[THEIronEVANKINGLIVE]

I was born in England and left at the age of 2. It makes me cry because I want to go back home :'(

[nadne92]

Hauntingly beautiful song done perfectly by Tom Jones. Unfortunately it is a the sad lament of a death row inmate facing imminent execution. His last wish? To be laid 'neath the green, green grass of home. And in the end, isn't that really what we all?

One of the Greatest of all time said:'' Tom Jones is one of the Greatest'' Who was that man? . . . . . . . . You guess, Frank Sinatra...

[c159csy357]

this is a bad idea of a joke given the mood of this song, but i just gotta mention......

Then I awake and look around me,

at the four grey walls that surround me

and I realize,

yes,

i can see those

i can feel those

i can see those

oh oh

SQUARE ROOMS!!!

[Ricco99100]

I remember this from my childhood....a wonderful adaptation of a good country song. I dare present day singers to sing anything like this! Thanks for posting this and thank you Tom for keeping balanced through my hippy days, the Army, my country period...and endless changes.

[windstorm1000]

Now this version has the sad part in it---you understand what is going to happen, and it adds irony and tragedy to the song--this last part is needed for a true understanding of the lyrics.

[freakinJiDan]

Listening to this song reminds me of my childhood days when I was learning my first few words of English in primary school. Didn't understand the meaning of the song then but I just enjoyed listening to it, even today. A beautiful sad song.

Bring our troops home! Let them touch the green green grass of home!

[Cwmbran1984]

Reminds me of my old homeland of Wales (living in Germany now for 4 months). No matter where you live in the world, you'll never forget where you come from.

Brings a small tear to the eye :)

@NNunes1975 You have wonderful memories and a few tears are a small price that you paid so many times. Just enjoy them and keep going!
