Blake Shelton - Ol’ Red

Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I’d been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol Red

Now Ol’ Red he’s the damnedest dog that I’ve ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He’s a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I’ve been here
Ain’t nobody got past Red

[chorus]
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don’t you run
Ol’ Red’s itchin’ to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red’ll have you treed before the mornin’ comes

Green, Green Grass of Home - Tom Jones

The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa

Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and the lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me
Arms reachin’, 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’ll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and the lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me
Arms reachin’, smiling sweetly
Oh, it’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
At four gray walls that surround me
And I realize 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 tree
As I lay me in the green, green grass of home

Have you ever heard this version?

It is from some crap French prison movie, but it has a haunting sound to it (you have to give it a chance, not 30 seconds):

Mack the Knife Jimmie Dale Gilmore aka Smokey in the Big Lebowski

“As I lay me in the green, green grass of home”

Last line should be: “As (THEY) lay me in the green, green grass of home”
