Sad One Comin' On (A Song for George Jones)

This worn out old six string has sure been a good friend It's never let me down when my heart's on the mend It's always willing to play one more song And I feel a sad one coming on Some dingy old bar room is where he used to turn 'Til the bottle was empty, man, that whisky would burn The life of the party 'til his friends were all gone I feel a sad one coming on Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones Keep pouring me something, real strong Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side Since the king of broken hearts died And I feel a sad one coming on 'Cause the love of a woman saved Jones's life He put down the bottle and he made her his wife And he'd tear your heart out when he sang a song And I feel a sad one coming on Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones I can't bear that he's really gone Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side Since the king of broken hearts died And I feel a sad one coming on Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side Since the king of broken hearts died And I feel a sad one coming on
