Jones, George - Old Old House Lyrics






There's an old old house that once was a mansion
On a hill overlookin' the own
Where time's left a wreck where once was a beauty
And soon the old house will tumble down

When the leaves begin to fall in the autumn
And the raindrops drip from the trees
There's an old old man who walks in the garden
And his head is bowed in memory.

They say he built the mansion for the love of a woman
And they planned to be married in the fall
But her love withered in the last days of summer
And the house stands empty after all.

    The Lilac Bouquet, which will be released on March 28, next Tuesday. The other song is "Hickory Holler's Tramp". Two beautiful songs that I listened to over and over as I wrote this book.

    At the Opry on a Friday night, Bill Monroe's voice completely broke singing this and I though Charlie Smith his fiddle player was going to have to take over. George Jones can break down the great Bill Monroe what change do we have. The Greatest Country Music singer that every lived George Jones and he was a great song writer too.
