The Old Old House
Recorded by George Jones
Written by Hal Bynum and George Jones

G                             C          G
There's an old old house that once was a mansion
                          D7
On a hill overlooking the town
    G                            C              G
But time has left wreckage where once there was beauty
                 D7                G
And soon the old house will tumble down

    D7                       C       G
But when the leaves start to fall in autumn
        D7             C             G
And the rain starts to drip from the trees
                           C                 G
There's an old old man who walks through the garden
                D7           G
And his head is bowed in memory

                              C            G
They say he built the mansion because of a woman
                                      D7
And they planned to be married in the fall
    G                        C            G
But her love withered in the last days of summer
                    D7          G
And the house stood empty after all
