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.

Hello Heart Lyrics
George Jones
(Melba Montgomery - Billy Yates)
Hello heart, well, I'm glad you came a knockin'
Oh, I can see that pretty little honey's got you back a rockin'
Well, ain't you somethin' now you got me a jumpin'
Oh, where you been, good to see you again, hello heart.
Well, I know it's been a long time since the huggin' and a kissin'
And I'd nearly forgot just what we'd been a missin'
Now it's good to be together. Oh, it never felt better
You gave me a scare, I thought you were gone forever.
Hello heart, well, I'm glad you came a knockin'
Oh, I can see that pretty little honey's got you back a rockin'
Well, ain't you somethin' now you got me a jumpin'
Oh, where you been, good to see you again, hello heart.
--- Instrumental ---
You say you did a lotta hurtin' and you took a lotta achin'
But you never told me how close you came to breakin'
Now, it's time for some healin', she knows how we're feelin'
Her lovin' is enough to give us both what we're needin'.
Hello heart, well, I'm glad you came a knockin'
Oh, I can see that pretty little honey's got you back a rockin'
Well, ain't you somethin' now you got me a jumpin'
Oh, where you been good to see you again, hello heart.
Where you been, good to see you again, hello heart...
