George Jones - Accidentally On Purpose Lyrics






In the papers I saw you this morning
You were lovely, dressed in your wedding gown
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
That had drifted into our old home town

Accident'ly, you met him one ev'ning
And you say it was love at first sight
Accident'ly on purpose you're marryin'
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

For you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

Yes, you say that you saw me out painting the town
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
Accident'ly, you were mistaken that night
Accident'ly on purpose, for spite

    Darrell Edwards is my great grandfather my grandmother s farther I got a list of all the songs he wrote n co wrote. Various artists song my great grandfathers music but George was one of the main ones to do his music. I'm very proud to say my great grandfather is DARRELL SONNY EDWARDS...

    @ twinPaula12. This song was written by Darrell "Sonny" Edwards who also wrote Why Baby Why, Tender Years, and others. True to fashion in the day many of Edward's songs will have Jones as co-writer. Edwards wrote some really good stuff and I have been fortunate to have been given a lot of his recordings from some family members. My Favorite is when my Heart Hurts No More, recorded by Jones and others.

    Tender years and Why Baby Why was written by George Jones. He said he wrote them in an interview.

    There's only one George Jones and this is one of his best. I love everything he sings and his background music is always just right. This is one of the best country songs ever written and I am wondering who wrote this winner. This song is played constantly on the juke box at our American Legion Post. It's great to dance to and, of course, listen to. Thank you for this treasure. - Paula

    I love George Jones and the background music. This is a great song. My favorite all-time singer is Ricky Van Shelton. I don't believe I have heard this song, but I really like it, especially with George Jones. Thank you for posting it. Gwen
