Lyrics: I started drinking and actin' crazy Way back in sixty five Mama would pray and say, he's my baby Lord, please keep him alive Sister came home with two little children Her man had left her alone Mama knew too well the hurt she was feelin' 'Cause daddy had been gone so long We all did our part to add to her pain We all broke her heart but she never complained She loved a lot in her time She watched love grow and die on the vine She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago I ain't touched a drink in ten years Sister remarried to a good ol' boy They don't live far from here Mama's work is done Now, she's gone on home The words in our hearts Are engraved on her stone She loved a lot in her time She watched love grow and die on the vine She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time She stood in the shadows So others could shine She loved a lot in her time Mama, you loved a lot in your time
@@dennismosley717 wholeheartedly agree. He threw so much subtlety and nuances into his phrasing and notes and words that I’ve never heard anything like. And his voice was just rich as I’ll get out!
@@AnonymousAnonymous-dn2pk I don’t have access to that channel anymore. No, but at some point it did ring true and just because it wasn’t true at the time doesn’t mean it wasn’t relatable in my personal life with a certain family member
This sound like my dad drink all though years day I was born in 1964. My mom went though tough times. One greatest classic song. George Jones tell story in story . Why enjoy all his classic songs though years. God bless George Jones. Pure Country Music.
I lost my mom she was an angel nine months later I lost my middle brother he was thirty eight years old.gone way to soon I miss them both dearly mom this song is for you
That's what country music is all about - songs about life, and down to earth singers who are focused on the song and giving their best to the audience. TY GJ. You will be with us for many moons to come.
This is the greatest performance I've ever seen!!! The passion and dedication is like no other!!! Thank you George Jones for showing me what real music is all about!!!!!
I lost my mom young and started acting crazy but age has made me slow down along with a family when you lose your mom it never leaves you I just hope she's proud of me
WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!!! I can't imagine being in that crowd listening to this one!! Hell listening to this on UA-cam is mind-blowing I can't imagine how it was live in person!!!
This was my idol since I was little, I will never forget setting with my papaw and listening to all the country greats but George jones was always our favorite, thank you for all the amazing music George, R.I.P George Jones aka King Of Country

Lyrics:
I started drinking and actin' crazy
Way back in sixty five
Mama would pray and say, he's my baby
Lord, please keep him alive
Sister came home with two little children
Her man had left her alone
Mama knew too well the hurt she was feelin'
'Cause daddy had been gone so long
We all did our part to add to her pain
We all broke her heart but she never complained
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
I ain't touched a drink in ten years
Sister remarried to a good ol' boy
They don't live far from here
Mama's work is done
Now, she's gone on home
The words in our hearts
Are engraved on her stone
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama, you loved a lot in your time
Mother’s are unique gems. They love us unconditionally teach us right from wrong. You only get one mama treat er right.
Great underrated country song
15 Years ago today My Mom passed Away!!! Xoxox I Love 💘You Mom and still ❤Miss You!!! Xoxox Love, Your Daughter, Laura Xoxox ❤
Folks, that's the greatest country singer of all time, RIP Mr. Jones. A legend has been called home
Jerry Lloyd he was the greatest all time right?
The absolute greatest of them all. No one else was even close to him as a singer.
@@dennismosley717 wholeheartedly agree. He threw so much subtlety and nuances into his phrasing and notes and words that I’ve never heard anything like. And his voice was just rich as I’ll get out!
I always cry when the crowd cheers for him when he sings “I ain’t touched a drink in ten years”
Why? To start with, it wasn’t even true.
