Written by Hal Bynum ... In a publishing deal George Jones' name was added when he cut it in 1962. Also covered by Bill Monroe and others. Some of the words vary from one version to another, and I know I sang a few of them wrong. I heard it for the first time only a couple of years ago and really like it. There is a great cover by local musician Allan Spinney on YT.<br /><br />Old, Old House (cover) with kind permission from Rebecca and Hal Bynum <br />Capo5 G C D<br /><br />There's an old old house that once was a mansion <br />On a hill overlooking the town <br />Where time's left a wreckage where once was a beauty <br />And soon the old house will tumble down <br /><br />When the leaves begin to fall in the autumn <br />And the raindrops drip from the trees <br />There's an old old man who walks in the garden <br />And his head is bowed in memory <br /><br />They say he built the mansion for the love of a woman <br />And they planned to be married in the fall <br />But her love withered in the last days of summer <br />And the house stood empty after all
