George Jones mentioned again, but very well covered by Dave Edmunds & The Stray Cats
I'm a big fan of Edmunds, having quite a few of his LPs,
Still got my 1981 copy of their first LP (the eponymously titled; The Stray Cats), plus (the later) Brian Setzer Orchestra
I've still got the VHS tape, that the interview came from
A gorgeous song from Dwight, with love, cheating & death..........
She wore red dresses with her black shining hair
She had my baby and caused me to care
Then coldly she left me to suffer and cry
She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies
I never knew him but he took her away
And on my knees like a madman for vengeance I prayed
While the pain and the anger destroyed my weak mind
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind
I searched til I found them, then I cursed at the sight
Of their sleeping shadows in the cold neon light
In the dark morning silence I placed the gun to her head
She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead

Dolly, & the mental stress caused by being cheated on
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dollyparton/mountainangel.html
The gloriously orchestral, wonderfully arranged, Tindersticks, who are one of my favourite 'modern' bands
It's the last verse that gives it away;
Let's not make it into a big thing
Let's not get lost in this
I know it is, I know we could
I guess we surely would
Let's pretend it's not
It doesn't mean a thing
Let's not blow it out of all sense
As though it meant so much
It's always thought about for weeks
Not every time your lips meet mine, I think of her
But when her hands reach out, I think of you
George Jones again......
He said "I'll love you till I die"
She told him "you'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red
Every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time
Aww, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind
"This time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
Dwight once more, from the marvellous Hillbilly Deluxe' LP, this could almost be a George Jones song (in the 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' vein)
She had left him lost and broken
Like no other had before
And now his heart was just a token
Of the pain it had endured
And his memories were clouded
With all the hurtful things she'd said
Yes, for all intent and purpose
He might just as well been dead.
[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call her name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.
He seemed far away and distant
With that cold and silent stare
Never moving, never speaking
And just barely breathing air.
No one really knew her reason
And who can judge her right or wrong
The only true and solemn fact is,
The man we'd known was all but gone.
[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
See, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.
Sissy Thompson said she'd seen him
Late that night on Shelby Road
About a mile from there they found him
It seems he'd died out in the snow.
I hear'd the preacher at the service
Say from love he's finally free
But I say love, it knows no season
It haunts the soul eternally.
[Chorus:]
And some people claim they still hear him call he name
Hey, hey, Maureen, swear they hear it just that plain
Deep in the night and sometimes right at dawn
Yeah, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on.
Yes, his body died some years ago
But around here Mr. Johnson's love lives on...
