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.

Don't Let Me Cross Over Lyrics
George Jones
(Penny Jay)
(Don't let me cross over)
(Love's cheating line)
I'm tempted my darling
To steal you away
Don't let me cross over
Stay out of my way.
You know that I love you
And I'm not the stealing kind
But I'm faced with heartaches
And love's cheating line.
Don't let me cross over
Love's cheating line
You belong to another
And can never be mine.
I know one step closer
Would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over
Love's cheating line.
I've tried to forget you
But what else can I do
When your eyes keep saying
That you love me too.
I know if I lose you
Not a dream will be left
I don't want to cheat dear
But I can't help myself.
Don't let me cross over
Love's cheating line
You belong to another
And can never be mine.
I know one step closer
Would be heaven divine
Don't let me cross over
Love's cheating line...
