Kenny Rogers - 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
And down the road I look and there runs Mary
her golden lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home.

Yes they've all come to meet me
arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's so 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
down the lane I'd walk with my sweet Mary
her golden lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home.

Yes they've all come ...

Then I awake and look around me
at the gray walls that surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak again
I'll touch the green green grass of home.

Yes they'll all come to see me i
n the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home.

Kenny Rogers Green Green Grass Of Home Comments
  1. p.... p....

    Kenny has a perfect soft voice to sing this song. After all, it is a song about somebody who is about to die. It took me 50 years to detect that, cuz recently, I looked at the lyrics.

  2. m.... k....

    The best version... a hla thu hian min vel thin, he lungintang hi ka khawngaih lutuk.. may the prisoner's' poor soul be rest in peace.😫😫

  3. J.... C....

    Green Green grass and cannabis of home

  4. J.... S....

    This song reaches the deepest of the heart

  8. P.... S....

    This is classic voice control! My uncle use to play his record when he's drinking, and cry,he's born in Trinidad.we grow up listening to country gospel music.

  9. J.... L....

    I always dream of getting close to that Green Green Grass of Home, but I just keep getting smaller and smaller.

  10. V.... j....

    I love Kenny, what a fantastic version. Being Welsh I love Tom's version too

  11. H.... S....

    sweet song--

  12. H.... A....

    Só para aqueles que têm aquela velha (home) casa como um valor. Ela representa a família, o estilo de vida, a cultura; as virtudes aprendidas; os exemplos recebidos; os valores herdados. Essa canção só pode tocar mesmo àqueles.

  13. F.... R....

    Awesome

  14. R.... O....

    So relaxing

  22. D.... U....

    With the huge respect to Kenny, however I think the best version of this song is by Elvis Presley. This is not so called "mild" song, and Elvis with his tragedy notes in his voice opens all the beauty of this unparalleled, beautiful song

  23. R.... M....

    warm up to the music style

  24. D.... ....

    So smooth right?😍w a t c h i n g at 2 0 18 s e p t.......

    No one can do it like Tom Jones!!!!

  27. D.... d....

    This song puts me in tears anytime I listen to it... It makes me miss the mines quarters where I grew up... And I see every house and childhood friend av known as I close my eyes and listen to it

  28. S.... F....

    Elvis Gable gospel soulful version of this song the best one ever Tom Jones is a close second they own this song Kenny Rogers is so-so

  29. C.... L....

    Nice but I prefer the Snoop dog version

  31. M.... F....

    Wonderful

  32. f.... S....

    Não conhece com vida mais foi sempre será um grande artista me apaixonei amei

    Kenny Rogers'Green Green of Home' God always my memori

  41. p.... p....

    Tom Jones' version was the best, cuz it became a number one hit all over the world in 1966. But i agree the other versions are very good also.

  42. T.... S....

    Try Dean Martins version

  43. E.... D....

    Is so beautiful song...kenny Rogers is the best

  44. T.... S....

    Speaking as an Englishman there is only one music that's country thanks America

  45. K.... E....

    There's no place like home.
    Come back home as soon as you can.
    Take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot on the soft turf welcoming you.
    Walk as though you're kissing the homeland with your feet.

  46. K.... E....

    There's no place like home.

  47. i.... N....

    It reminds me of the factual kernel that East or West ,home is the best.You cannot simply resist the velvet and mature voice of Kenny Rogers!

  48. F.... D....

    Esta es la versión que más me agrada de esta canción. Es estéticamente hermosa. - This is the version that I like the most about this song. It is aesthetically beautiful

  49. S.... L....

    the best version so far... better than the original... hmmm...this is just my opinion

  50. a.... k....

    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
    It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
    The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry
    And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
    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
    Then I awake and look around me
    At four grey walls that surround me
    And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
    For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
    Arm in arm, we'll walk at daybreak
    Again I 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

  51. R.... C....

  55. r.... c....

    V.... S....

    V.... S....

    All of them had their own style. All of them performers are great. This one by teh great Kenny Rogers is superb!

    I love this version by Kenny the best!

  71. R.... A....

    the best perfomance.... off all

  72. D.... ....

    トムジョーンズや、エルビスプレスリーと聞き比べができます。
    ケリーの歌唱は、よりまったりとしています。

  73. D.... H....

    I think this is the best version of this song that I've heard. Kenny's voice is superb, and so right for this timeless classic, that I love so much, and it takes me back to my much younger days.

    D.... H....

    True. Kenny's version is smooth...👌 Awesome 👏

  74. a.... b....

    This version is just awesome, I can hear it a thousand times and each time it sounds better ....

  75. 7.... ....

    Miłe, spokojne, bez patosu, ale właśnie dlatego czuje się to co przeżywa wykonawca a i sam pozwala, a właściwie zmusza niemal do przeżywania tego co śpiewa. Czuje się ze śpiewa tylko dla siebie i ciebie, nie dla widowni.

  76. K.... O....

    Much better than Tom Jones, by far the best version I have heard

    K.... O....

    Fuck noooooo....no body sing this song better than Tom Jones....

  77. e.... ....

    uuutaa madre que cosa ttan hermosa de canción belleza

  78. e.... ....

    Esto es hermoso!!!!

  79. Z.... C....

    Better then Tom Jones...

    Z.... C....

    @Jörgen Mattsson
     All these people are awesome but who is the best is a question of a personal taste...

    Z.... C....

    +Zoran Cikovac Certainly is and I would say that Kenny's version is by far the best!

    Z.... C....

    Zoran Cikovac you must have been deaf or blind drunk when you wrote this 3 years ago

    Z.... C....

    I love Tom Jones but I love this version

    Z.... C....

    Yes.....

  80. r.... ....

    to many people including me, kenny rogers' rendition of this nice song is the best!

    r.... ....

    Definetely not including me.

    r.... ....

    +Jörgen Mattsson Good for you. Maybe you could listen to another version and let the many of us who think this is the best version enjoy this.

    r.... ....

    If you stopped enjoying because of me, you probably never enjoyed it very much to begin with.

  81. L.... M....

    Love his version of this song. His voice is awesome..

    L.... M....

    Yes....!!

    L.... M....

    Agree. Love Kenny Rogers

    L.... M....

    IMO the difference is in the feeling he puts in his voice ...

  82. b.... s....

    Nice song

  83. a.... b....

    Amazing number ... best sung by Kenny Rogers !!
