"Stay Away" is a song first recorded by Elvis Presley as part of the soundtrack for his 1968 motion picture Stay Away, Joe.
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.
Elvis Presley recorded "Stay Away" during a non-movie recording session on Monday, January 15, 1968.
The song was released on a single as a flip side to "U.S. Male" in 1968. "Stay Away" peaked at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100, while "U.S. Male" peaked at number 28.
