George Jones - They Bought The House Next Door Lyrics






I must pack up my things and start movin'
Due to circumstances beyond my control
They were married yesterday, but I still love him
And now I've learned, they bought the house next door

They'll be movin' in first thing tomorrow mornin'
I'll be watchin' from my window, and I'll cry
All I'll be to him is just a next-door neighbor
But all he is to me is everything in life

In a day or two, I'll wind up all my business
I can't live in this old lonesome house no more
It's hard enough to know that I have lost him
And to make things worse, they bought the house next door

In a day or two, I'll wind up all my business
I can't live in this old lonesome house no more
It's hard enough to know that I have lost him
And to make things worse, they bought the house next door

    Great song Melba.

  2. D.... H....

    Very good real country song.  True she is not Tammy but she sounds darn good to me.  She has a good voice and she is using real country material and that makes it a good song.

  3. G.... Z....

    such a strong voice .awesome

  4. d.... f....

    too bad todays music isnt this good...

    Melba never got the full credit for her part in this era of songs

    She uses George Jones voice technique clearly in this song!

    G.... M....

    yeh she probably thought if that tone works for George I,ll try it !....////

    G.... M....

    George and Melba recorded several albums together all through the 1960s

    How much sadder can life become! The lyrics in he voice, had me in tears.

  13. M.... M....

    How can the absolute epitome of a beloved country music legend sound this good
    and STILL not be
    in the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME?!!! If George Jones were still
    alive don't you
    just know he would be throwing
    fits over this injustice, as
    would all the other
    deceased country
    music stars!

    M.... M....

    Charlie Justice on fiddle,  Pig on piano.  Pig told the tech to boost his piano a bit on the turn around,  "Can't.  Pappy Dailey only pays for 4 tracks,  there's other instruments on yours."

  24. d.... ....

    Fortunately, great music is a good legacy.

    This cut is a Hal Rugg/Melba Montgomery masterpiece. It doesn't (and they don't) need to lean on The Possum or anybody else.
