However, since he was only seventeen at the time, later versions of the song gave writing credits to Jan Crutchfield.

Johnny Bush 1970 (Stop Records)
Nat Stuckey 1971 (RCA)
Brian Collins 1974 (ABC Dot)

Jack Greene – Statue Of A Fool Lyrics

Somewhere there should be for all the world to see
A statue of a fool made of stone
An image of a man who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone

And there on his face, a gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he’s cried
And the hurt in his eyes would show, so everyone would know
Concealed is a broken heart inside

So, build a statue and oh build it high so that all can see
Then inscribe: The World’s Greatest Fool, and name it after me
