By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
E Just as far as I can remember B7E She'll remain the rose of my heart Mom took sick along in December B7E February brought us broken hearts.
The reason we've not called the family reunion We knew that she wouldn't be there But since we've thought it all over, mama We know that your spirit is there.
Chorus: A No, no, I can't forget the hours E You're the onliest one mom A And sweeter than the flowers No, no, there's no need to bother EA It's because you now would only hurt father.
It looks so good to see us together But I had to look after dad Oh mama, when I passed by your coffin I didn't want to remember you dead.
They all gathered round I stared at their faces All heads were bowed mighty low But that was one time we all had to face it It hurt us so bad you know.
Chorus
Oh no momma we'll never forget you And someday we'll meet you up there...
