George Jones - These Old Eyes Have Seen It All Lyrics
Spoken:The old man's hair was white and his eyes looked tiredHe drank his beer at the table all aloneBut he smiled when I spoke to him so I sat down for awhileI wound up sitting there the whole night long'Cause I could see he had a lifetime on his mindSo I just sat there and listened, I was glad to take the time.And he said..I saw Jimmy Rodgers yoddle on the stageAnd I saw Hank when the walked him to his graveI saw a country boy from MemphisChange the world with rock and rollAnd these old eyes have seen it all.Then he said..I saw friends of mine or foreign soil die proudI saw things over there, son, that I still can't talk aboutI saw a crazy man named Hitler and his army rise and fallYeah, these old eyes have seen it all.These old eyes have seen it allNow the hands of time are writing on the wallTelling me I won't have long waiting for my Jesus to callThese old eyes have seen it all.I saw sweet Mary love me, fifty yearsWith a trembling hand we wiped away a tearHe said my memories of Mary are the sweetest I recallAnd these old eyes have seen it all.These old eyes have seen it allThey saw a man walk on the moon and come back homeI know it won't be long before I hear my Jesus callThese old eyes have seen it all...
