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.

Apartment No. 9 Lyrics
George Jones
Just follow the stairway
To this lonely world of mine
You'll find me waitin' here
In apartment number nine.
Not so very long ago
You walked away from me
And after all the plans we made
You decided to be free.
Chorus:
Loneliness surrounds me
Without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine
In apartment number nine.
--- Instrumental ---
I keep waitin' in this lonely room
Just in case you change your mind
You'll find me waitin' here
In apartment number nine.
Chorus:
Loneliness surrounds me
Without your arms around me
And the sun will never shine
In apartment number nine.
No, The sun will never shine
In apartment number nine...
