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.

All My Friends Are Gonne Be Strangers Lyrics
George Jones
All the love you promised would be mine forever.
I would have bet my bottom dollar on.
Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever.
Just once I turned byback and you were gone.
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.
--- Instrumental ---
It amazes me not knowing any better.
Than to think I found a love that should be true.
Oh, I should be taken out and tarred and feathered.
Than to let myself be taken in by you.
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers.
I'm all through ever trusting anyone.
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers.
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone...
