@@akagenie502 Then think... "there's a (prison) guard and a sad old padre..." "They'll all come to see me when they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home..." The padre (priest) was there to lead him to his execution...
The song is about: He sings about sitting in jail and waiting to get executed, so he dreams of getting back home where he was born and to meat the people that love him. The house and his girl (Mary) looks the same and they all are happy to welcome him home. In the end he wakes up and the priest and the guard takes him to execute him and bury him at his hometown and special tree... Did you listen to Elvis Presley's version of this song?
Thanks Genie. Well I guess one for the ladies is fair game :) There's some great clips of him now from "The Voice". He's still got it going on. Just poke around YT and you'll find them. At age 80 he can still belt them out like it's nothing. Thanks again.
this is so beautiful song... here in the philippines every sunday many radio station played a lot of old songs respectively... thanks for always reacting this kind of music... i love old song more than the song nowadays...
Hi, Did you know in the Green Green grass of Home he gets put to death for killing Delilah (Another one of his songs). Stay safe from Covid-19 to you and your loved ones.
I believe you lost the concept of this song. You responded before listening. Play the song again, Tom Jones puts you in the right position to a great song!
Aww I did but had someone explained it to me after. It’s not always easy working out the concept of some songs but truly enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and taking time out to comment, it’s appreciated :)
Hi Genie. The song is about about a prisoner who is about to be hanged. The four walls is his prison cell. Elvis also recorded a version of this song
Tom owns this joint...Thanks Genie
Anna Akin wow that’s why I was a bit confused towards the end, wouldn’t have guessed it. Thank you for the information, truly appreciated :)
