Statler Brothers, The - Almost Persuaded Lyrics
Last night all alone in a barroom
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man
And as she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love
Made me stop and go home...

Statler Brothers, The Almost Persuaded Comments
without doubt, one of the most beautiful country songs ever.
The high tenor of Lew Dewitt (RIP) on the chorus gives an almost angelic presence to the song! Beautiful arrangement!
Recorded 25 May 1967 Columbia Recording Studio, 804 16th Ave. South, Nashville, TN - Statler Brothers (Don Reid [ld vcl], Harold Reid [bass vcl], Phil Balsley [baritone vcl], Lew DeWitt [tenor vcl] + unknown musicians Producer: Bob Johnston)
Very nice song (I never heard by the Statlers) ! Where on spanish dobro ? (Grady Martin ?). I learn this song from the Charlie McCoy LP. Whishes. JO
