"The Possum."

En av dom stora inom Country musiken är död
George Jones.

Han sjöng ofta om den mörka sidan av livet, texterna handlade om  alkolism, otrohet, misshandel ,olycklig kärlek och fattigdom .
Vare sig man gilla Country eller inte så har alla hört  George Jones och hans låtar någon gång.
över 150 hits
och han skulle ut i höst på en turné och en Duett album med Dolly Parton var planerad.



He said I'll love you 'til I die She told him you'll forget in time As the years went slowly by She still preyed upon his mind He kept her picture on his wall Went half crazy now and then

He still loved her through it all Hoping she'd come back again Kept some letters by his bed Dated 1962 He had underlined in red Every single I love you

I went to see him just today Oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile in years

(Chorus) He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today

(Spoken) You know she came to see him one last time Oh and we all wondered if she would And it kept running through my mind This time he's over her for good
