Ol' George
Ole George foster was an honest Man
Worked an honest trade
Building houses for his dollars
Never asking no ones aid
On Sunday he would worship
Singing gospel songs
One day a record man came Calling
Sayin George we like your tone
We think you'd be a star
Up on music row
And George's mothers words Came to him
Saying son you listen close
Don't you go a livin
Your life for no one else
You sing the songs
That make you happy
And to smile a little always helps
Keep the lord near your heart
And your life will be alright
And most of all make sure it's Love
Before you make that girl your Wife
They took George up in a high Rise
And they showed him all things That they could get him and how They'd use him
To be a big city front stage man
They said George you just sign Here
We'll give you everything
You never had or even heard of
And your life won't be the same
But old George he loved his life
He didn't want it all to change
He'd never been to fond of city's Much
And the life they seem to bring
But the money he could make
And the places he could see
He couldn't pass the chance to be A star
And live his wildest dream
Now he's on a shelf in Nashville
I ain't heard from him in years
They say His records they Stopped selling
And his life it disappeared
And ole George didn't read the Fine print
When he signed his life away
I know his mother's words to Come often
And haunt him to this day
Don't you go a livin
Your life for no one else
You sing the songs
That make you happy
And to smile a little always helps
Keep the lord near your heart
And your life will be alright
And most of all make sure it's Love
Before you make that girl your Wife
Before you make that girl your Wife
Worked an honest trade
Building houses for his dollars
Never asking no ones aid
On Sunday he would worship
Singing gospel songs
One day a record man came Calling
Sayin George we like your tone
We think you'd be a star
Up on music row
And George's mothers words Came to him
Saying son you listen close
Don't you go a livin
Your life for no one else
You sing the songs
That make you happy
And to smile a little always helps
Keep the lord near your heart
And your life will be alright
And most of all make sure it's Love
Before you make that girl your Wife
They took George up in a high Rise
And they showed him all things That they could get him and how They'd use him

And your life will be alright
And most of all make sure it's Love
Before you make that girl your Wife
Before you make that girl your Wife
