George Jones - If Drinkin' Don't Kill Me

[@Bobbythefanman]

Love ole George Jones can’t believe he’s been gone ten years already Rest in peace possum we miss you

[@rosemaryjonston8529]

That crying voice.. him and Tammy😢😢😢😢😢😢💕💕💕💕

[@jketcham]

Country music today is garbage, true country music like this is priceless. Country music died in the 1980's. I grew up listening to George, Waylon, Willie, Merle, and Hank. Today's country music could never come close to the true country music of George Jones.

[@thomasryan5736]

GOAT. RIP Possum. Loved you since 1957.

[@dhix2388]

You know i wounder if George ever realized he's legacy and enduring contribution to country music.

[@charlottewadkins986]

George Jones- You and I lived our lives together- we got drunk together more times than I can remember, we got sober together, divorced together, remarried (for the last time) together- you sang my life, I just can't imagine no more George songs a comin- but rest easy my Man, you deserve the freedom of the flesh- fly easy George-

[@jamythompson]

a country 45 $1.99 a country album $7.89, classic country music...Priceless!!!

[@jayames194]

MY FATHER AND I DONE SOME WORK FOR MR. GEORGE JONES WHEN HE LIVED IN VIDOR TEXAS...HE OFFERED MY DAD A PAIR ON HIS BOOTS...SIGNED.. NO LESS..I THOUGHT HE WOULD BE AROUND THE REST OF MY LIFE...LITTLE DID I KNOW,,THE GOOD LORD ABOVE WAS MAKING A PLACE FOR HIM..LONG LIVE THE POSSOM..A GREAT TEXAS IS STILL SINGING AS GOOD AS EVER.......

[@rubbersole79]

“George Jones’ voice was a rowdy Saturday night uproar at a back-street beer joint, the heartbroken wail of the one who wakes up to find the other side of the bed empty, the far-off lonesome whistle of the midnight train, the memories of a half-asleep old man dreaming about the good old days. . . He sang for us all, the non-stop partiers, the guys who are alone and the girl done wrong,....... George had a song for everybody.” Charlie Daniels

[@tmcbroom2001]

hell im 26 and i grew up on this george is still gettin it done all these years later

[@TheStephscottlivi]

True country...love you George! Glad you are clean now. You are the true country ledgend.

[@badstreetbulldogs1]

the 2 dislike that are on here dont know what real country music is about

[@rubbersole79]

I'll just go ahead and nominate this for Best Country vocal performance of all time.

[@KingMellow11]

50s, 60s, 70s and 80s country music is what I love best

[@mander1295]

It goes without saying that George Jones was perhaps the best country singer ever HOWEVER, he also had backup singers and musicians who were second to none and they gave him the distinctive George Jones sound that is so easily recognizable.

[@dhix2388]

Incredible no one will fill he's shoes

[@marlenesullivan3113]

I AGREE

[@wdb201034]

Country doesn't get any better than George Jones!

[@WildPhotoShooter]

No one will ever try to fill his shoes because they know its impossible, who else breathes life into a song like George Jones ......listen to his astounding phrasing.....unique.

[@maehovdebo4250]

WildPhotoShooter and my dad and my father and brother were Play. Now

[@darrellsmith7507]

Great song ❤😂

[@joycekeeney6215]

GEORGR JONES IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST

[@troydixon3396]

He killed this song I give credit when it's due

[@ringodrifter1742]

George was the real deal,when he sang about heartbreak,hardship,being drunk etc he actually lived it.It gave his music depth and believability sadly when the man died real country music died with him.

[@kristys9719]

Every bit, you can hear it in his voice

[@treystewart2708]

He sang about life with so much emotion ! It would cut you to the bone!

[@folgersrcrcatv]

best song ever written, being sung by the best singer ever, and real country music at its absolute best!!!! country music is dead when it comes to radio, i wish they would stop playing that modern crap they got now, and bring back real songs like this one...

[@patriot1292]

Greatest voice ever to be in country music

[@slavenaway3434]

One person disliked this song I don't know how must have be a mistake. No one can dislike the king of country music.

[@erikjbrown]

what a voice.....can listen for hours

[@marlenesullivan3113]

I AGREE

[@Hollcall]

BEST voice ever and without much effort. Truly a GIFT. Miss HIM ...!

[@darrellsmith7507]

Great song love it this is me ❤😂

[@stevemcfarland6190]

"These Old bones....They move slow" .....But..so sure of their foot-steps" Gotta love this song....And "Her" memory really is...Killing me...

[@111ElvisLives]

Just like our WWII veterans, the truly great country legends are fading fast. What a wild ride his life & times were. To walk through his shoes AND live to be 81 is an album of country songs. Rest in Peace Opossum.

[@atfourothirtythree]

There's something about this song I just love, even to this day... it was the third single released from "I am what I am" album. And even though it peaked at # 8 on the US Billboard charts, next to "He Stopped loving Her Today", it is one of my all time favorites of the Possum.

[@dhix2388]

Incredible voice

[@camlee3096]

who, s gonna fill his shoes, im confident it cannot be done!!

[@DoyleHargraves815]

Cam Lee Dust.

[@kristys9719]

Never

[@earlslot8320]

no one

[@dmcc771]

Is it just me or is george getting better the more you hear him.

[@friendlysnake]

During this period, country's greatest voice had aged to its best. Country music perfection.

[@bluesslider76]

Best male vocalist ever. People who can't love this don't know music.

[@CHANTYESYESYES]

This planet has lost one of its brightest jewels.

[@jacquelineramphal1911]

this voice is the most beautiful instrument ever played!

[@uglymoon78]

wow, sounded even better than in his younger days. Greatness personified.

[@alaskadebjackson5510]

CHARLOTTE, SOUNDS LIKE GEORGE, YOU & ME WERE LIVING OUR LIVES TOGETHER.HE SANG MY LIFE ALSO..SO MANY GOOD, & BAD MEMORIES, 2 MARRIAGES ENDED IN DIVORCE, AND ALMOST 25 YRS IN THE 3RD ONE..ALL MILITARY..I REMEMBER 2 STEPPING THE FIRST DAY I LEARNED HOW TO GEORGE JONES..I GOT LUCKY TO 2 STEP ON A DANCE FLOOR WHERE GEORGE WAS SINGING RIGHT ABOVE ME...HE DOES DESERVE THE FREEDOM OF THE FLESH & HEAVEN JUST GOT THEM A NEW ROWDY COUNTRY ANGEL.CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PARTYIN GOING ON IN HEAVEN HUGE DEBBIE

[@Zippo765]

Now THIS is music! It died in the 80's. I grew up listening to George, Waylon, Willie, Merle, and Hank. The new shit could NEVER equal this!

[@ChannelGarpin]

He was AWESOME. period. no equal. I grew up with ol' possum and will miss him as long as I live.

[@fish1648]

man if they only made music like this today

[@cowboymachito]

wow I have not see this clip of George. He is the best and always will be.

[@88mdomer]

greatest country music singer ever

[@CandySpirit1]

there will never be other george jones he the country legend will live on in our heart.ty for shareing

[@ermawright6599]

George Jones has always been my #1 favorite singer, during our 12 yrs. of going to Destin, Fl, we were fortunate to attend 2 of his wonderful concerts. I also enjoyed meeting his wife, Nancy, the one who lasted. I will enjoy listening to all his wonderful KZbins and always remember him with love. No one will ever fill his shoes.

[@burtonmusicbarn]

Great song and singer.

[@MrHooper1050]

ladies and gentlemen, the greatest singer of all time.....

[@Wilkie94585]

There are a LOT of good country songs today. I agree, it's hard to hold a candle to George, Waylon, Willie, Merle and Hank but let's not knock the great artists we have today!

[@ComradeCrusty]

If drinkin' don't kill me, her memory will....shakes head and smiles....rest in peace George you are another of the last of the greats to leave this plane of existence...the world won't be the same without you around...(tis a scary place now)

[@TheMoonbeamz]

All time favorite George song. It used to be the one that we always played on the juke box when we got off work!

[@KickAssBluegrass1]

One of my favs... RIP .. You will always continue to warm our hearts and soul to your music!!

[@KLUNKET]

@DarthMorbius1977 - I would agree, This is REAL Country! However I don't agree that it died in the 80's, because in my opinion it will NEVER die! Hank Williams died 60 years ago and we still talk about him! And when you think about it, Waylon was putting out Music until 2000, George and Merle are STILL out there singing songs, and 60 years from now they will still know who these guys were. Excellence NEVER dies!!!

[@1969stever]

the man, the music.. doesn't get any better

[@williamhutcheson6511]

Nobody better.

[@marvinberg4593]

So long for now George,you were right up there with the best of them.may god take good care of you.marvin canada.r-i-p.

[@hitman10199]

I can see it now george sitting at the bar with johnny and waylon on a friday night looking down on all of us saying dont be sad be happy for the life i lived and celebrate my life and music that i made there is only one possum and now maybe he can rest in peace...

[@TomHawthorneJr]

RIP Mr. Jones... You will be greatly missed by so many...

[@DogTrekker]

RIP, George Jones. Thanks for all the soulful songs. There will never, ever be another voice like yours... the greatest country singer of all time!

[@FROSTYPLOW]

im so sad we'll never have another like George...G.J. will always be the best ever!

[@jjlwatts]

Amen, and yeeeeh haaaw this is as good as it has ever been thanks George , it didnt kill me and I made it through the memories

[@josefinas5885]

George Jones they best

[@adrianlock6757]

From a fan across the pond I raise my hat to a gentleman of country, R I P.

[@justadoginmaine]

A true American Country Legend has left us. He lived his life as told by his songs and damned be the critics. Rest in Peace George and I raise a glass in your honor.

[@cheechchongfan97]

I'm 15 & I think George is the best singer there's ever been.I'm going to see him in September :)

[@charlottewadkins986]

Thanks Sheri- it sounds so - normal- to say there will never be another like him- but- there won't be another like him that sang my life like he did-

[@diablo121675]

Oh, George...I wish I had seen you in a concert. I have always loved your music. RIP George, as you have brought such comfort, happiness and pleasure to millions. We love you.

[@vendanges3]

What a performer. Not to many of them left. Thank's for posting Txmusicam.

[@cristallindsey4176]

we will miss him great singer

[@michelemonroe3104]

Still Listening in 2019. Miss you George Jones. RIH

[@aciew1]

An American icon in country music singing. George your songs will live forever. Rest in peace friend!

[@8UniquelyTrue8]

such a pure, amazing voice...seemed like he got better with age

[@joshua.tyrone]

My heart still hurts from my wife leaving me. This song has helped me through many dark nights

[@6324patrick]

I, saw George in Toronto in 1989. One great show.

[@bluebirdie83]

A very beautiful song and that voice is amazing may he rest in peace..( if smoking doesn't kill me, his memory will

[@ChanceArnel]

Rest In Peace George Jones

[@garyth65]

God bless George Jones and you too, Charlotte!

[@truebeliever43]

A true country classic from the incomparable George Joines - " The Rolls Royce of Country Singers"- he was known as, and my No. 1 favourite singer. Thank you.

[@Wynette43217]

I believe it is. A lot of their own music is about each other. They loved each other but just couldn't live together.

[@ram457moreno]

I love you George ,,,,, your passing has hurt me so much... I miss you so much.

[@TerriS2008]

good old bar song reamber my brother-law travis singing this to my big sister debbie its a shame hes dieing from drinking he haves liver cancer and brain cancer pray for him

[@prophetslayer777]

I'm just glad that Jones came to Christ and is serving the Lord now.

[@donaldduck511]

this is one good song...

[@peeweelee1]

Thanks for the memories pal. I'm gonna miss ya. When ya get there tell Chuck O'Malley hey. Us three supported the Crown back then. But wised up and gave it up. God Bless George. See ya.

[@balerjohnson3099]

We wont hear his likes again..God bless you George.

[@agejohanlervik2629]

Rip,The best.

[@johnnydefiant62]

starting my day here in Texas...George and a beer...I love this place...Texas that is...good to be home.

[@dorimckee3658]

I love this song so much :)

[@crayonwayy]

Love that Georgia he is the very best

[@buz263]

Great song and great singer. They just don't make music like this any more. Sad, but seems like modern country music has gone down the toilet,

[@Phil60289]

Goodbye George, you sure were good - one of the very best male vocalist. My suspicions are you sang with Tammy again today, I hope so.

[@MultiMarc64]

yeah...rest in peace dear Georges.....you stay a real icon for de country music.

[@sherstone]

THAT was the most heartbreakingly poignant thing I've read from a fan of George. I think you've nailed the exact reason he did what he did for a living and why SO MANY of us loved him so.... made me cry.

[@wilburmccullough6336]

Great American singer that sang many of our lives stories. RIP George.

[@2000ricest]

Nobody will ever be able to fill his shoes - . We will truly miss you. R.I.P.

[@FBIHank]

If you like this then you'll like jamey johnson he's bringing true country back.

[@charlottewadkins986]

ummmm dunno about that- my dad played George - n n Elvis n PINK FLOYD he was everywhere- Mom played Sunday Afternoon Piano music- and church was where we lived for music---- but something spoke to me in his music from a little bitty girl, singing White Lightnin when I could barely walk...much to my mama's chagrin! Later his music spoke to me while I was drinking...he sang my life- we lived vicariously "together" and in the end sobered up- and lived well...God I miss this man...Fly Easy George

[@acesandeights65]

no matter what, your music comes from what your dad played when you were young,thats my opinion

[@maxhawkins66]

R.I.P. This will Never Get Old

[@derekreese2796]

We miss you possum.
