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.

Gold & Silver Lyrics
George Jones
(S. Legate)
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
Don't have a gold mine or a mansion
Haven't even got you a finger ring
Deep in my heart there's a little secret now
I'm gonna share it with you.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
They can have the gold in Fort Knox Kentucky
As far as we're gonna stand on love
I knew a man once had lots of money
Cried every night for love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love.
I'd rather have a sweet girl's love
than to hold a rich man's gold
Don't have a penny in our pockets
I know we're gonna live on love.
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you more
Gold and silver have I none
I can give you love...
