Jones, George - The Blues Man Lyrics
I'm just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I'm not a walk-behinder, I'm a new note finder
But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
I was sure sinkin' when she came along
I was alone in the spot light, not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night when she sang me this song
Hey baby, I love you, hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me you're some kind of macho man
You've wasted so much of your life runnin' through the dark nights
Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man
I got sick from speedin' all the things they said I was needing
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down off of this blues man
And I sang hey baby, I love you too, hey baby, I need you too
Hey baby, I do get tired of this traveling band, I know you do get tired
I'm up in my years now, nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
Oh, I'm up in my years now, nights would be oh so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with this blues man

Rip George Jones he's one of my favorite country singers now days country music has nothing on the old time true country music the country music that comes from the heart
George and Dolly real country music great duet

God I Love this song. Lost my hubby 4 years ago. Took me a couple times to get thur Dolly's part. But made me realize My Hubby was my Blues Man.
Losing him is a great loss but he left us. He left us with so many memories and GOLDEN music
He has a male version voice as tammy the feeling in the voice they can sing any song and make it their song

This is the best cut of this JR. song
So beautiful
Love words !!!!!🤓❤️💙🌞🖌️🎨
the best he sounded when he was old. I feel some tears suppressed.
But it seemed like he knew he would die soon, and this is a kinda fairwell song/video
When Dolly comes in, you start to choke back the tears. Two Legends., I miss real country music.
Bocephus wrote the lives of so many legends with this song. I mean, him and his dad, as well as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and George Jones lived this song at some point in their lives. Thanks Bocephus for doing this.
I miss you possum!
Thank you
Older jones gets more country his voice gets
His song with his daughter Georgette jones is good too yall
My mom and dad told stories of possum. My dad still talked with Charlie Carter before dad passed. Memories last forever.
Dammmmmmm
Ask for the 1 thanking my wife
Shell cheat on you too
Her 1et husband better than me
..and 2hwts she's with now.and iknow.your my friend thanks .bye
dolly and george perfect
REAL AMERICAN MUSIC!
Hope I h eat him when I get there.not to long now!!!
Best. Best best best best wonderful wonderful!!! It took my heart!!!
Absolutely beautiful 💙💜💙💜
2 legends. Hank Williams Jr. May have wrote this but it sure suits George Jones.
All this new country these days, man George Id love to have you back. But you're up there with the good lord.
I love both of their voices.. dolly has such a unique voice though!
George the possum
Fits George Jones life perfect. He should have been the one to sing it.
TWO LEGENDS AND TWO GREAT VOICES!
That dam Jones could sing the telephone book and it would sound good😍
Excelentee
To bad country music died when the greats did too ..
This crap now isn't country!!
Best voices ever
Wonderful song not like some of the junk we hear today.
Joseph is a blue man
old farts are giving me chills wooo
Thanks you for liking my music , I love country Music so mush it’s because it’s my life.!
Thanks you again , This is life, it’s not all ways what’s we want , But that’s the hand we are dealt.!
RIGHT Rod Belding!!! One of the first after the fall!!!
this song makes me tear up no matter who sings it. love the vulnerability and honesty in Jones version. and Dolly is just the best
Hank Jr, wrote it, and does a great job singing it, but no one sings it better than George and Dolly
beautiful duet ❤ deserves some love 💕
Wow that's wonderful. Two legends and they sound great together....
I can listen to George sing this over and over!
I NEVER BECAME A GEORGE JONES FAN UNTIL I SAW GEORGE STRAIT MOVIE, SEEN IT LEAST 20 TIMES. EVERY TIME GEORGE JONES COMES ON TV, ALSO SEEN OVER DOZENS OF TIMES...THIS TWO SINGERS ARE "TRUE" PURE COUNTRY, LOVE IT !!! LOVE GEORGE AND DOLLY DOING "BLUES MAN", GREAT !!
George Jones simply the purest voice in the history of man
RIGHT! He could have been blasted out his mind on that old Rotgut whiskey, sang the fucking Alphabet backward and Still brought tears to the biggest man's eyes lol Simply the Best 👍 Him And Conway Twitty both
Who else is still listening to this in 2019?
Love this song. George is THE MAN. Dolly is an Americana personified...Alan Jackson does an awesome job on this one too. Gonna check out Hank Jr's version next... Went to see George Jones back in the early 80's at Billy Bob's Texas in Ft. Worth. Probably would've been great had he showed up. I did get to see Johnny Cash once though.
A Kenyan Hill Billy here
I was there from the release and i will never stop
I listen to this ..Every day..10 times a day!!
I got chills when dolly started singing
This was at the end of his voice. Not much longer after this his voice was shot and not his fault at all. Just age and health problems...he definitely sang until the end, a long legacy he left behind that i don't think anyone else can match.
Love his story ❤️ Never forgotten
She ruins it
Rest in peace geroge jones and ps dolly parton is real country music lady singer i feel like the blues man great song by hank williams jr god bless Glenn Linda cats in Oklahoma
dam id love to see them puppys
I think this is the best version of old Hank that I've heard
Thank you Lord for letting me hear such a song by two legends.
Sometimes Dolly oversings
2019 still love this <3
i love this song, just love it. and for these two legends together, wow! thank you for sharing.
HEY BABY THIS WILL NEVER BE TOPPED ON GOOD WHOLESOME COUNTRY...True love is hard to find these days,,[Try typing with tears rolling down your cheeks,,]
Two of the greatest. Beautiful
Rest in peace opossum, you are missed
This is awesome I love it
He had to be old here. You can the most cause he doesn't have his guitar anymore. He always had it till he wasn't able to anymore. Anyways, he's still got it. His voice. 2 legends!!
Keep coming back
Geez! How come I've never heard this before?
2 of the greatest together.
I love this song ❤️
Bocephus..who didn’t no? Fits George and Hank perfectly...Hearing Dolly sing low notes is chillin to the bone..gotta love it.
I believe the reason they called him possum is because hes not dead bes just playing possum HIS MUSIC LIVES FOR EVER..
Wow, what a beautiful song!!
George you were the Greatest of the greatest - the Best of the all-time Greats then,now and forever the President ( and King) of Country Music ! RIP in heaven !!XxXx Laura Daitch-Landgraf
Best duet ever.
Yes Hank wrote this and recorded it Alan Jackson did also l. But this version is the best of all.
great NO, Matter whom DOLLY teams up with the country is alway great to listen to, George the gates open up for you but your country music will always live on,!!
Written by Hank but this is George's life. The man was past legend status... his voice and essence were priceless and can NEVER be matched!
Listing to he songs he still loved tammy..he now alcohol what ruined them
Hank and George..I love the both
Like this if you think GORGE was the best no matter if it was his song or someones else he had the voice and needed a hell of a lot of pants to carry his balls bc he didn't care to die fighting die drinking but he died loveing his wife and all of you his fans .. we loved him still do but he loved us back and gave us all the songs god bless u GORGE your still the man
Although Hank Williams jr. May have wrote this song but George Jones put this on the bed it just cannot be done any better I guess that goes to show when it's done by the best it's done right God bless you mr. George Jones and Dolly Parton
