George Jones - Man That You Once Knew, The lyrics

rate me

Written by Dallas Frazier

If you see a man in clothes that's old and ragged

And he walks from bar to bar in worn out shoes

If people point and whisper, "God have mercy"

Would you deny the man that you once knew

If on the street I meet you with your new love

And I walk right up and say, "How do you do"

Would you turn your back and tell him you don't know me

Would you deny the love that you once knew

Would you be ashamed to remember

I'm the same man who lost ev'rything for you

If tomorrow on the street I die a beggar

Would you deny the man that you once knew

Would you deny the love that you once knew
