Man That You Once Knew, The Lyrics - George Jones

(Written by Dallas Frazier) 

If you see a man in clothes that's old and ragged 

And he walks from bar to bar in worn out shoes 

If people point and whisper, "God have mercy" 

Would you deny the man that you once knew 

If on the street I meet you with your new love 

And I walk right up and say, "How do you do" 

Would you turn your back and tell him you don't know me 

Would you deny the love that you once knew 

Would you be ashamed to remember 

I'm the same man who lost ev'rything for you 

If tomorrow on the street I die a beggar 

Would you deny the man that you once knew
