Last night all alone in a bar room
Met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips, coal black hair
And eyes that would tempt any man

Then she came and sat down at my table
As she placed her soft hands in mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine

Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered, "I need you
Take me away from here and be my man."

Then I looked into her eyes and saw it
The reflection of my wedding band
And I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home

David Houston biography

Houston was a descendant of General Robert E. Lee{1} and Sam Houston.{2} His godfather was 1920s pop singer, Gene Austin. Like Austin, Houston lived in a house across the street from the residence of later Mayor Jack Batton in Minden, Louisiana.

As a teenager, Houston became a regular on the Louisiana Hayride,{3} and later was one of the earliest artists with National Recording Corporation in Atlanta.

In 1961, record producer, Billy Sherrill, brought Houston into the fold when Epic Records was still a young label, and Houston brought the company its first real hit with "Mountain of Love," in 1963. The song, which is different from the tune made famous by composer Harold Dorman, Johnny Rivers, and Charley Pride, rose to number two on the [Billboard Hot Country Singles .....MORE.....(full David Houston biography) ←
