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.

Accidently On Purpose Lyrics
George Jones
In the paper I saw you this morning you were lovely dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
That had drifted into our old hometown
Accidentaly you've met him one evening and you say it was love at first sight
Accidentaly on purpose you've married accidentaly on purpose for spite
For you say you're sorry I'm painting the town
That I was just a fool with a heart of a clown
Accidentaly you were mistaken that night accidentaly on purpose for spite
Yes you say you're sorry...
