George Jones - The King is Gone (So Are you)

[tourmalinehunter]

They can give it a thumbs down because they haven't lived it . Alcoholism is a bitch . George at least sang about the struggle . Am living it myself right now .I can still see the humor in this song and it gets a thumbs up from me .

[jamiegobangbang]

7 people clearly think Taylor Swift is country :( there is no bloody hope :(

[danno131305]

County music's living legend!

[therolexking]

how can anyone give this a thumbs down



[GENERAL1749]

i like the geezenslaw version a little better

[cornbreadcountryboy1]

this is one of the greatest songs to tip back some bourbon to!

still jammin this one

[Donnie88and3]

Can't belive there are 7 dislikes.....

George is still one of the best voices in music today!

[mikeislost]

when George is gone… Y'all need to go seen him play, he is still on the road…

[TheSugarburger]

Elvis is the greatest. The King of all music. and always will be.

[weldonh0101]

Sing it Possum

[hangertrash]

Whats a bieber ?

[60sSaxMan]

This looks like a performance on Austin City Limits probably back in the late 1980s. I've contacted Austin City Limits about buying a copy of this but they said it was archived and couldn't get it??..whatever that means. Does anybody know where I can get a copy of this? It's just for my own personal use. Of course, i'll be glad to pay for it. Please email me at:  wsahara95@yahoo.com I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

[anjona03]

Yabadabadoo the king is JONES!!! 

[rngrhuff]

Yelled out sing this song during a concert he actually showed up for(my 4th and first he showed up for-I was a bit excited). He told me he thought he told me to stay on the bus-then told how Hanna-Barbra sued his ass for usin yabba dabba do in a song. Helluva world.

[freeflyr28]

Amen: Long Live The King!

[rdrdr54x]

This video is classic " Possum Country " . Everyone knows the Possum likes doing love ballads . What makes this so much of a classic is . George could actually be singing about an actual night in his life . Anyone that has followed the events in his life . Those fans know . It's true to life for him . As the corvette song could say the same thing .

[Heavydagger]

Besides, Elvis would have loved this.

[Heavydagger]

This is a marvellous funny tune about a man getting schnockered to forget his troubles and a lost love. It references american entertainment icons, it doesn't insult them, it's one of my favorites. I can't even beileve an idea like that ever presented itself while discussing this humorous little gem of a song. Shame on you over analytical and over critical people. If you don't like it don't listen,but don't insult those of us who do. That's utterly pointless, illogical and just plain rude.

[haverstock1888]

There is only one King of country music that is HANK WILLIAMS Thomas Haverstock

[mankind2112]

Pure Jones

[Idolfan21785]

WE NEED MORE COUNTRY SONGS LIKE AND NO MORE OF THAT TAYLOR SWIFT SO CALLED COUNTRY GARBAGE

[boondocksaintmurphy]

6 people need Elvis' nose!

[keetonplace]

This isn't laughable. It's sad. Drinking has hurt or killed hundreds of thousands of people.Ruined families. You don't make fun of drinking. Not cool. And being an alcoholic himself, Shame on him. This man was a mean drunk, He's on tape in action. I hope he's stiil sober today.But who knows with him. I used to be a great fan.

[rougeau02]

@keetonplace u suck



[keetonplace]

@rougeau02 Thank you very much. I have been around drinking and there's absolutely nothing funny about it, so think as you wish. Also I have seen Jones on police tapes and it's just sad. And disgusting.

[keetonplace]

@chevyisthabest You are a sicko. Terrible language you use. It's a crutch when you can't talk. When you're at the computer and I can't see you, it's cowardly..I run into the cowards on You Tube on occasion. YUCK!

[tourmalinehunter]

@keetonplace You would still be a fan if you didn't sit in judgement of your fellow man . Judge not lest ye be judged .

[keetonplace]

@tourmalinehunter Sorry, don't mean to sound judgemental as I become very angry at peope who judge Elvis, knowing nothing but what the media says, which is mostly untrue. With George, I use to be a great fan and saw him and Tammy in the beginnings of their time together. Loved them both. George just got on my nerves with the tapings I saw of him at his very worst.

[bradsmells]

@keetonplace your used to be cool now your a huge peice of shit

[buckshotass]

i can relate....i shore ...can relate

[tourmalinehunter]

@buckshotass If we can't poke a little fun at our own past stupidity then we will consume ourselves with self loathing and guilt . Kudos to George for turning the corner , and moving on with his life .

[chadhys]

You have to read his book and it is well worth buying if you are a fan. He is by far the best voice ever in country music and he still records. Nashville music is a huge money maker and George and Merle dont get no radio play but they are the two greatest to ever record there.

[FloraBama]

How can 5 people not like this song? Must be Bieber fans! One of the greatest songs ever written by the Godfather of country music!

[59rbreton]

"No show Jones" love him.

[bobcooter1]

This is possibly THE BEST drinking song of all times

[SidJames901]

[7Rorschach7]

LOL!!! Thats the greatest song ever written!!

[EmberRaveStar]

[knoxcountykyman1]

he's my favorite beer drinkin', cry in your beer singer, love him

[f250Di]

George is and always will be the best. And I think that from 1980 to mid 90s that those were his best years and the best songs came from then.

[KEVINJAY73]

GOOD TO HEAR THE POSSOM,,I LIKE HIS MUSIC...THIS ONE TELLS A STORY.

[Stumbler1able]

What a great song, sung by the greatest male country singer ever... Long live George Jones...

[er6789er]

Been there Daddy George!

[DaveWollenberg]

I guess the writers must've gotten sued by Hanna-Barbera, for originally callin' it 'Yabba dabba do'. Anyway, the Possum hit #26 in Billboard, 6-17-89. God bless!

[Hounsfield]

He has lived to tell it all.

[howiecarr1]

George is the best.;

[cyril75016]

@howiecarr1

yep true !!

[2007pz]

[Yukon5G]

@sb2244 Sorry, Bob Wills is still the king.

[freeflyr28]

@sb2244 Amen: Long Live The King!

[badboy4948]

SWeggemann @ you dum son of a bitch

[finally39]

Call me Mr. Flintstone, cause I can make ya bed rock!

[SWeggemann]

The King of Country music is Hank Williams Sr. & Elvis became famous by taking black musicians music mainstream. Just do a Youtube Search on Chuck Berry. That bein said, George Jones ain't too shabby.

[antivictim]

Shabby? Dam you got a lot of drinkin left to do.

[Guard007Pup]

Yabba Dabba Doo......Ive been there before, lol.....The possum is the man....

[vigilante619]

The King is Gone....but the Possum lives on!!!

[Modnar09]

THE REAL KING IS ELVIS

@$#% gorge jones

[TexasDoodleBug1]

You can have your own opinion and so can other's. GEORGE JONES is the KING of Country Music and ELVIS is the KING of Rock n Roll.

[Hounsfield]

The REAL King George

[showaltermicro]

This is one of the few county songs I like.

[Moln0014]

[bjunt4prez]

If you don't like George Jones, you an kiss my ass.

[baileyheartsmusic]

George Jones is a poetic genius!

[elvisdead77]

Great Song

[willieflie]

When George Jones sings you don't have to ask who it is.

[budoom76]

my dad :)

[autiger694]

This is my favorite country song. Completely ridiculous, yet profound.

[chirality2]

My Dad asked to have this played at his memorial service... He wanted a lighthearted time. Rest in peace Dad.

[Donnieboyh]
