Elvis Presley Green Green Grass of Home

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

My Daddy used to sing this all the time. This is the first time I've listened to it since he died 8 years ago. Thank you for posting it.

Every time I listen to this, I want to go to Graceland; then I just wanna go home.

Happy birthday friends no matter wherever you are

Great song. Elvis will forever be King. Funilly enough, Irish railroad used this song years ago in their advertisements not knowing it was a song about someone on Death Row.
