George Jones & Tammy Wynette (Earl Montgomery - Tammy Wynette) I know this house is the finest one around And we are both respected in our town But our friends don't know the truth when they drop by That our house is such a lovely place to cry I keep my yard cut as close as it can be There's no litter laying round for one to see And I know someday I'll tell this place goodbye But till then it's sure a lovely place to cry You don't need lonely things around you When you have no love left in you And when you're already dead before you die But someday someone will buy this place and be happy if they'll try But for us it's been a lovely place to cry Yes, for us it's been a lovely place to cry...
