在電視錄製時，這首歌的背景布置成監牢，唱到最後，鏡頭一拉，觀眾才看清牢房。在黑白影像的時代，Tom Jones把一首歌變成感人的故事，而且還是犯人現身說法，極具戲劇效果。這首歌1967年收錄在 Tom Jones Live! At the Talk of the Town。說來說去，還是Joan Baez唱的好聽。至今許多人以為，美國的孩子只顧自己，不像華人照顧父母，殊不知那是獨立，大抵來說，他們與父母的感情絕不輸給華人。
Green Green Grass Of Home 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, and there's that old oak tree 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. Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround me and I realize 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 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.
