You Comb Her Hair

"You Comb Her Hair" is a song by George Jones. It was released as a single in 1963 and reached #5 on the Billboard country singles chart. It was written by Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard. The song, an ode of love and devotion from a father to his daughter, was typical of Jones's releases during this period. In a 1994 article by Nick Tosches for the Texas Monthly, Jones confessed that he regarded the early sixties as his finest period, stating, "We did a lot of the pure country then." Johnny Cash recorded the song for his 1966 album Happiness Is You.
