George Jones (Larry W Jones 04/26/2013) (song#6689)
He said I’ll sing until I die
And then on wings I’ll carry on
The songs he sang were mournful cries
From his own life they all were drawn
At eighty one he topped them all
Just as he’d done from way back when
Now George resides in that big hall
Of country fame with other men
He kept a pencil by his bed
And his guitar he kept there too
The songs he wrote were in his head
To play whenever he felt blue
Crowds went to see George yesterday
They shouted loud and with no tears
Now they’re all sad he went away
But they’ll remember him for years
(instrumental)
George Jones stopped singing songs today
A wreath they placed upon his door
All men are made from lowly clay
George Jones stopped singing songs today
(spoken)
Oh, we all knew that George was marking time
And we all wondered if he really could
Make that last performance he had in mind
Before the door closed on George Jones for good
George Jones stopped singing songs today
A wreath they placed upon his door
All men are made from lowly clay
George Jones stopped singing songs today
