George Jones - Old, Old House - Текст песни

WRITERS GEORGE JONES, HAL BYNUM


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.
