Gorge Jones recorded the greatest country and western song ever: He Stopped Loving Her Today.
He said I'll love you 'til
I die. She told him you'll forget in
time. And as the years went slowly by. She still preyed upon his mind.
He kept her picture on his
wall. 'went half crazy now and then. He still loved her through it all. Hoping she'd come back again.
He kept some letters by his bed. Dated 1962. He had underlined in red. Every single I love you.
I went to see him just today. Oh, but I didn't see no tears. All dressed up to go away. First time I'd seen him smile in years.
He stopped loving her today. They placed a wreath upon his door. And soon they'll carry him away. He stopped loving her today.
Spoken: Ya' know she came to see him one last time. Oh, we all wondered if she would. And it kept running through my mind. This time he's over her for good.
He stopped loving her today. They placed a wreath upon his door. And soon they'll carry him away. He stopped loving her today...

I embarrassed to say I didn't know that song. Wow.

Truly was the greatest country song ever. That ol' "Possum" gave us some great music.
