Old Old House

(George Jones - Hal Bynum)



There's an old old house that once was a mansion

On a hill overlookin' the town

But time has left a wreck where once there was beauty

And soon the old house will tumble down.



But when the leaves start to fall in autumn

And the rain starts to drift from the dream

And there's an old old man who walksd 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.



But when the leaves start to fall in autumn

And the rain starts to drift from the dream

And there's an old old man who once walked in the garden

And his head is bowed in memory.



And there's an old old man who once walked in the garden
