By most accounts, George Jones is the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten hits, and Jones always stayed closer to the roots of hardcore country. Jones was born and raised in east Texas, near the city of Beaumont.

A Girl I Used To Know Lyrics
George Jones
There's a picture that I carry,
One we made some time ago
If they ask who's in the picture with me,
I say just agirl, I used to know.
Just a girl, I used to go around with
Just a friend, from long ago,
I don't tell them how lost I am without her
I say she's just a girl, I used to know.
I say, she's just another girl now
Just a flame, that's lost it's glow
And I say, her name has slipped my mind now,
And she's just a girl, I used to know.
Just a girl, I used to spend some time with
Just a friend, from long ago,
I don't talk about the nights I cry about her
I say she'sjust a girl, I used to know.
Just a girl I used to know...
