I have that track on CD. Great stuff. I've yet to come across anything of George Jones.

Pouring the last drop from his toes
Yabba dabba doo
The King is gone
and so are you."
Originally posted by elrod-tom If you ever get the chance, you have to find "The King is Gone" by George Jones. It's about a man, sitting in his now empty apartment, with a bottle of Jim Beam (Elvis decanter) and a jar (Fred Flintstone shaped) of jelly beans, and contains one of the great choruses I've ever heard: "I pulled the head off Elvis Filled Fred up to his pelvis Yabba dabba doo... The King is gone... and so are you." Now THAT'S country music!! |
