George Jones - Ol' George Stopped Drinkinâ€В" - Текст песни

OL' GEORGE STOPPED DRINKIN' TODAY 
WRITER O.B. McCLINTON

Me and the bottle
Have always been friends
Oh we've had a few ol' nasty fights
But the bottle would always win
And when I go to answer that final curtain call
I can hear these words bein' whispered by all:
(chorus)
Ol' George stopped drinkin' today
They're all gonna gather round me
Lord I wish they could hear me say
No more income taxes 
No more bills to pay 
Ol' George stopped drinkin' today
Down in Mississippi
The highway patrol
Will read it in the paper
And say,
