Green, Green Grass of Home", written by Claude "Curly" Putman, Jr. and first recorded by singer Johnny Darrell, is a country song originally made popular by Porter Wagoner in 1965, when it reached No. 4 on the country chart. That same year, it was sung by Bobby Bare and by Jerry Lee Lewis, who included it his album Country Songs for City Folks (later re-issued as All Country). Tom Jones learned the song from Lewis' version, and in 1966, he had a worldwide No. 1 hit with it.
With Green, Green Grass of Home, Tom Jones began to abandon his teenage pop audience to concentrate on a more mature, middle of the road group of listeners
Album Best Of Bill Anderson. Green, Green Grass of Home Lyrics. The old hometown 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 areaching smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me at the four grey walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreaming There's a guard and there's a sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak And 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 neath the green, green grass of home

Andrew from Birmingham, United StatesI always thought that "Green, Green Grass of Home" was about a soldier who finally returned home from war. Oh, but it's a prison period that's over, not a war period. My bad! In any case, it's about a guy who's glad to be home after a long time away. The Last Dj from Hell. The Stooges guitarist (and producer of the Kill City album) talks about those early recordings and what really happened with David Bowie.
