Mr. Fool - Lyrics - George Jones
George Glenn Jones was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including "White Lightning", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

I've got a feeling you'll soon be leaving
But I won't beg you not to go
Because I've always been
A fool to cry for you
I know this time it's really over
For there's no happiness in store
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more
My tears were scattered with all was shattered
Dreams that faded in the past
Vows were spoken and vows were broken
But the last one was the last
So I'll keep smiling although you're leaving
For time will heal a heart that's sore
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more
So I'll keep smiling although you're leaving
For time will heal a heart that's sore
And I will never be the fool I was before
No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more
