About I'm a One-Woman Man

"(I'm a) One-Woman Man" is a song co-written by American country music artist Johnny Horton and Tillman Franks. It was originally released as a single by Horton in 1956, whose version peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. The song was twice recorded by American country music artist George Jones: first released on the album The Crown Prince of Country Music retitled "One Woman Man" in 1960, and later as "I'm a One Woman Man" released in November 1988 as the first single from his album One Woman Man. It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1989 and it would be his final Top 10 solo hit. His final appearance on the Top-10 country singles chart arrived a year later as part of a duet recording with Randy Travis. In spite of the lack of radio hits as the 1990s dawned Jones remained a popular concert draw for the next two decades and continued to release original recordings into the mid 2000s.

If you told me that you loved me I'd feel so proud
If you let me hold you honey I'd holler out loud.
I'll never love another, even if I can.
Oh come to me baby, I'm a one-woman man.

(chorus)
Oh wantcha let me baby just to kind of hang around.
I'll always love ya honey and I'll never let let ya down.
I'll never love another even if I can.
Oh come to me baby, I'm a one-woman man.

I'd climb the highest mountain if it reached up to the sky
To prove that I loved you I would jump off and fly.
I'd even swim the ocean from shore to shore
To prove that I love just a little bit more.

[Repeat chorus twice]

Johnny Horton

John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably during 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and during 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". more »
