This isn't some imitator of other singers . This is an ORIGINAL singer. This is REAL country music. This is a LEGEND. This is the one and only, the original, the legendary GEORGE JONES!

Even when the Possum's voice cracks, he's still a thousand times better than every "country" artist today. We miss you Possum!!

No singer can come close to George. He's singing with God and God loves it!!

I cried hearing this today. No one will ever fill his shoes.

How can you not cry. He is so genuine, it just tugs at your heartstrings. Unforgettable.

My wife passed away in 2007, and I listen to this song and think of her and the good times we had and shed a tear. I've continued in life, but it is 1/2 empty without her.

Old country musicians blow the newer ones out of the water.

This was one of ol' possum's best songs. And no one can sing it like he could. He is sorely missed!

My Dad loved George Jones so much I even went to George Jones concert just to get George Jones hat and his CDs for my dad every time I hear George Jones I think of my father he was in service for 32 years loved his family loved his country and loved George Jones and Johnny Cash

My mom left my dad in 1969 after just a few years of marriage. My dad never got over it, never stopped carrying the torch. This song brings me back to that tragic love. RIP, George Jone. RIP, Dad.

The most brilliant country song ever written. It tears at your heart.

The greatest Country song ever written. Anyone who's loved someone they couldn't have for one reason or another has this song imprinted on their heart and it doesn't go away.

No one can sing like George Jones.

Best country western song ever by the best singer ever. Thank you George Jones.

Obviously time has taken a toll on George just like all of us. His voice not as strong as it used to be but in a way even more emotional and poignant. God bless him. Simply the best.

We will meet again someday this brings tears. #RIP all of you fallen country music singers.

I'm a 65 yr old man and sometimes this song hits my heart so hard that I can't help but tear up.

Greatest country singer EVER. The older he gets the better he gets. A LIVING LEGEND

There is a reason why they call this the greatest country music song of all time, Love you forever George!

There will never be another George jones!

This is my favorite version, missed notes and all, It was full of emotion, and at the end, the joy he had for the best of Nashville, showing up to honor him was genuine. Country wouldn't have survived without possum, and a few others back in the late 70's and early 80's to inspire the stars of today and up and coming stars in the future. Rest in Peace Possum.

my father past away 16yrs ago this March at the age of 49, after leaving the hospital my mom said this song came on the radio.

Just doesn't get any better than George Jones. The greatest singer ever lived. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I will always miss him!

R.I.P George. You are one of the greatest singers ever. You are a legend and your music will live on forever.

RIP George, you are missed. This still brings tears to my eyes, every time I listen to this song.

i grew up in the 80's listening to him with my dad and uncles while working our farm. I'm a marine now and still love me some george. Thank you brother, your an original

Even in his old age he still blows the doors off any country singer today.

when it finally hit me what this song meant,i cried.most beautiful song ever.

It's bad to get old but what hurts me more is to see the Legends get old. But George is still out there doing his music and that's great. Allergies and age are taking there toll on his voice, but he ain't giving up. Great job George!!!

He touched so many hearts with his music...His shoes can never be filled...He is a legend in country music. Rest in Peace George Jones.

Strength and the power to forget. Wish i gave George my song when he wanted to sing it.

One complete LEGEND....

This song reminds me of my great grandfather - from the day his wife, my great grandmother passed away, he grived for her and kept saying, " I want to go be with my Jenny" - finally, that day came - and from that day forth - my great grandfather stopped greving for his wife, my great grandmother. I have no doubt that she met him at heavens gates and they are together for all eternity in heaven togeather. My their souls rest in Eternal Peace with Almighty God.

My mom would sing it to me when I was growing up, but i love you mom even though you are in heaven.it brings back memories of her singing it to me sleep

My eyes are always tearing.. he was so great

He just put so much emotion in his song. Love this guy! A legend for sure.

This song ALWAYS breaks me down to my very knees ... bringing tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat ... it speaks to how much my father loved my mother. He left this earth in April 2010 ... and loved her deeply, to his very last breath. She still mourns him to this day. So do we all.

i cry every time i hear this song, its beautiful. i love it.

It’s sad we lost George jones back in 2013 but when ya drink and see some old videos of the ol jones it puts a tear in your eye

It’s beautiful to see and hear the greats as they aged . The voice may have weakened with the body but it’s so beautiful and human like their songs.

WOW I love and Miss You OLD George Jones POSSUM...You are and were the very best...I shall never forget your concerts brother! RIP Sir, till we meet again! MRP

Best singer ever. You hear him with your heart and feel him with your soul. There will never be another possum. RIP George

Loved this man. Rip jones

2023 and George Jones still kicking ass ❤❤❤❤❤

one of the best country songs ever written and performed. I can only imagine how many funeral homes over the years have played this song for a loved one that has passed. it also sold a lot of beer in a lot of Honky Tonks. just a great old cry in your beer song! rest in peace George❤

one of the best singers singing one of if not THE best country song ever written. just beautiful. Possum, you will be missed ALOT. R.I.P. George Jones!

Sing it George. Hey you know it was the PERFECT love song.

He was earned his respect. I'd rather hear him like this, than to have never heard of him at all.

I hope people understand what a fantastic music this is and what a legend our George Jones was. The best countrysinger of all time. R.I.P

This song always brings the tears on Rest In Peace Mr. George

How can u dislike anything george sings????!!!!!!!

Still crying but George, I know this is the happiest day of your life! Rest in Peace and may God Bless and keep you always!

I am sure many can relate to this song somewhere in their life, for me it was my Dad, he didn't listen to Country Music, but the song was his life about my mother, married 44 years at the time of his death, she left so many times, yet he took her back every time she showed up. Funny how life is! This song was playing on the car radio when I walked out of the hospital the day he died, it still brings me to my knees!

I can't describe the feeling and tears, that come when I watched the man sing and struggle with some of the notes in the song, one of the greatest singers in the country music I remember driving my dad driving home when I was 6 years old song from Edmonton to Ontario, and we always listened to George, will always be my most Treasured Memories.

Thanks George. I love the memories.

Greatest country song of all time......

But all in all, this man is a legend and forever will be. There will never be another George Jones. RIP

There will never be another one like him....amazing..

i loved this guy, my very first album i owned was george Jones, i left country then after many years life put me back in touch with the best music ever, and this guy is one of the best if not the best ever... country voices love this guy..

What a legend he is!!!! Miss you ole timer!!!

George: "Thanks for taking time to let us old folks do a song" Me: "Thanks George for taking time to show these wannabes what country really is"

I am in tears tonight, listening to this version, it's so sad! I miss him already.... :(

one of the greatest songs ever.

NO,,, you still did great George.....thank you

I'll never forget the moment I realized what this song meant. I had always heard it but never understood it until I was going through my Dad's cd collection when I was 12, just after Johnny Cash died. I could feel the emotion, the heartache, in it. It was the first time (and one of the only since then) that I felt a song rip my heart out.

My favourite singer of ANY genre! I've never had the privilege to see this amazing man in concert, and I never will! But in my eyes , he'll always be the greatest singer of all time! I bawled my eyes out for 2 days when he passed! That right there is the epitome of what country is all about!!! May you RIP sweet man! You'll be forever loved, remembered and greatly missed!!

I remember when mom and dad scraped enough together to buy a stereo cabinet. The kind where the doors slid on top. Dad took me down to Ace hardware and he bought about 20 albums. One of those was George. Loved that music. Still do.

Thank you George for giving so much. You will always be loved.

Love you George... you will be greatly missed. Your voice and soul lives on...

". . . he had underlined in red every single 'I love you' . . ." {sob}

Ain't just time that has taken it's toll George. That man has lived a lot of life.

Not a big country fan but this is the GREATEST love song ever. The possum rules

Well George it wasn't just the music they cared about it was you they love, rest in peace my friend

True country music royalty right here!! You'll always be the best Mr. Jones. RIP

no matter what comes next, the best country song ever written.

South Carolina is listening!!

Thank you George Jones for the memories and great music. You've entertained us for fifty plus years which is an impressive run. I hope your rest will be eternal and peaceful, kind sir.

I saw him at Nutty Jerrys in Beaumont TX right b4 he died. I was 37 years of age and cried right in the concert hall listening to possum . My old man always wanted us to go see him together. He passed on, and I took him in spirit that night. I was a 5 yr old kid again that night. Felt like 1979 in pops truck with 8 track playing George Jones

only man on earth who can break his voice in song and get standing ovation!.god bless you george jones! there will never be another you!

George had voice like no other

the greatest singer of all time... any genre, any era. period.

Over these many years I had forgotten how simple this piece was constructed. Yes as simple as life I suppose.

Thank you for your songs. I grew up listneneing to your songs with my family. Love and light George. Your already missed.

This is the perfect country song . Hands down.

What a heart breaking song Thank You George Jones May You Rest In Heavenly Peace.

One of the best country singers who ever lived.

I love you George.

Tears fall like rain as I listen to this wonderful song...even though George Jone has gone on to be with JESUS.I know he still loves her ;...(

This is the first place I went to when I heard he passed away. and thought of this song.Love you George, Thank you for all your wonderful songs and sharing your talent with us. So sad, and still thought I would get to see you concert one day.
