Stay Away - Soundtrack recording fom MGM -Stay Away, Joe. January 15 RCA’s Studio B -Nashville . The song was writted by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett. It is based on a traditional song titled “Greensleeves“, which Presley requested to rework for him. The first version the songwriters made (in 1967) was titled “Evergreen“, but Elvis never recorded it. Lyrics: Ten thousand miles even though I roam I can hear the call of the hills of home The canyons high and the valleys low Echo “How can you stay away“ My dreams are there where the eagles fly Where the mountain tops seem to touch the sky The winding streams and the winds that blow Ask me “How can you stay away“ Too long have I stayed apart From this land that I love and denied my heart Now, now I know I must go Where the hills say “Don’t stay away“ Where the hills say “Don’t stay away“
