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.

Blue Moon Of Kentucky Lyrics
George Jones
(Bill Monroe)
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue.
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
It was on a moonlight night,
The stars were shining bright.
And they whispered from on high,
Your love has said goodbye.
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye.

I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue.
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
Well, it was on a moonlight night,
The stars were shining bright.
And they whispered from on high,
Your love has said goodbye.
I said, blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, it was on a moonlight night,
The stars were shining bright.
And they whispered from on high,
Your love has said goodbye.
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye...
