Composition
Lyrically, Rich's version is virtually identical to Jones' version, with the exception on the first few words of the song. The George Jones version of the song starts with "A drunk man, crossed the street today, he staggered all around...". The Charlie Rich version of the song starts with "I saw a man walk, from a bar today and stagger, all around...". On "The George Jones Show" airing on The Nashville Network in 1999, country singer Sammy Kershaw described this song, that he'd heard only once, as a young child, as one of the most "memorable" and "saddest songs" he'd ever heard in his life. Kershaw cited George Jones as a heavy influence of his own music. Video of that interview can be seen here....
