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.

Glad To Let Her Go Lyrics
George Jones
You took her from my side
The day you took her from me
And you though that it would hurt my pride
But there were things you failed to see.
You thought you stole away her love
But I want the world to know
It's the truth she turned her back on me
But I was glad to let her go.
Yes, you thought that you were foolin' me
And even though it wasn't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go.
--- Instrumental ---
Yes, you knew that you were cheating me
And even though it wan't right
Let me thank you for you set me free
From a lot of sleepless nights.
My love for her had died
Yes, it was over long ago
And it's true she walked away with you
But I was glad to let her go...
