early George Jones lyric

Post by Cody Campbell »

at 0:15-0:17 he says something I can't understand. Right after the words "while the teardrops started..."

What does he say there???!

Great tune, with great steel and fiddle. Who plays steel. my only guess would be maybe a young jimmy day. who plays fiddle??

After searching eight lyrics websites, they all say that line is, "It's mighty close."
As you can see, I have little to do this morning... :lol:

I agree with Mr. Harper. I think it says "their briny flow."
Briny means salty, so it makes sense.

The problem with those lyric/tab sites are that they are very often wrong. I use Cowboy Lyrics.com and cowpie.com and most of the time the chords and or words are incorrect. And, the same idiots post on several sites so they are all wrong. I was working on one song one time that the guy left out a whole verse.
Carter D10 8p/7k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup, Regal RD40 Dobro (D tuning), Recording King Professional Dobro (G tuning), NV400, NV112, Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open G slide and regular G tuning guitar) .

Playing for 55 years and still counting.

The fiddle sounds like Dale Potter to me. Maybe someone knows for sure... I'd like to know too.
