"Too Much Water" is a song written by
George Jones and
Sonny James. Jones released it as a single on the short-lived
Mercury-
Starday label in 1957, and it became a hit, peaking at No. 13 on the charts.[citation needed] Like most of Jones's singles to this point, "Too Much Water" was an up tempo
honky tonk number in the
Ernest Tubb-
Hank Williams tradition, although with a slight
rockabilly edge.[citation needed] The song was included on the 1957 LP 14 Top Country Favorites.
