I just don’t believe that Merle will ever have an equal. How he expresses himself through both voice and instrument is unrivaled. Period
Keith Whitley and Myself Johnny Rowe can do it just like Mighty Merle
@@duanerowe2485 I have that same dream too.
If you haven't lived this song . .you haven't lived
Mr. Merle Haggard...one of the best country artists and songwriters...never be another..Love ya Merle 💖
I miss Merle Haggard. I enjoy watching him play guitar almost as much as hearing him sing👏👏
Check out his Sons...
Especially Noel
"I can smoke and I can drink,
and probably be alright until the morning."
This song is one of the "realest" songs I've ever heard. R.I.P. Merle Haggard.
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
@@jamessmith8761 I like any song which makes me feel something. There are plenty of country songs (including this one) that give me this feeling, so in that sense, I suppose I do love country music.
Keith Richards no less said the Late Great Merle Haggard was one of greatest guitar players ever.
my daddy loved merle haggard.this song is how i felt when daddy went missing 3 days before christmas 2012. he didnt make it back alive.god bless both of them dad and hag!!!!!!
Back when country music didn't need a bunch of fancy lights and sound effects. It was just pure good music and talent.
A couple of his didn’t even need two verses, like this one. This is one of my favorite ones from that jazzy, bluesy mid to late 70s stuff he did on RCA.
Theres country music today lol yes it changed completely
You Got that Right
Very very true
100% agree!!!!
Been listening to Merle Haggard for about almost 50 years
Killer edged tone from that Tele neck. Didn't know Merle could play like that.
understated.
Merle could do it all. Write,pick and sing. One of a kind !
Indeed,the most underrated guitar picker ever hands down,in the history of the music industry,he never missed
The tempo of this song is brilliant. The energy and action of the solos and lyrics is arrested by the sudden reality and weight of the question, "But what am I gonna do..." Merle was amazing.
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
Exactly Kevin. This is one of my favorite live performances of his. Thank you for saying what I have struggled to put into words.
The two greatest singers in the history of the world are Merle Haggard...and Merle Haggard.
don't forget Merle Haggard . . . . . and then there's Merle Haggard
My favorite for sure
Amen to that!
Yes sir. His voice is somethings
Exactly. A truly GOOD MAN..a rarity now. RIP
This is one of Merle's finest performances I have ever watched! Just flawless!
He definitely perfected his craft around this time in the 80s. I watched the whole concert and I can't find a missed note
Really enjoy the music you have here!!
I miss country music when it was real country...love you Merle
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Most underrated super star in us history........blows away the others.....
So true ❤️
This comment should have thousands of thumbs up. He could do it all and do it all to the highest quality. No other voice like his, he could write one hell of a song, could play, and his tone out of that tele was second to none.
not just in U. S BUT OVER THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎
Merle was awesome, I am not sure who has him underrated though. Most people think he is one of the best ever.
Yes he was at the top...he had the best music for everyone
I am a latecomer to appreciating Merle Haggard, but I am ever so glad I have come to more fully appreciate Merle, a phenomenal poet and lyrics and music are straight from the heart.
I love how effortless he made it look. Even wiping his face several times in the middle of his solo… I like how the tempo picks up too
His voice is the best country sound! No one can beat that voice!
MARTY ROBBINS WAS BETTER THAN ALLL OF THEM
@@ronkistner2672 nope
Hes the best
@@ronkistner2672 nooooo merle was the best still best
Merle was a coma man
My god what a fantastic musician, from his lyrics to his pickin on that guitar, the man was incredible....
I know it's been two years since this post, but I'd like to add the incredible song writing of this legend.
You ever seen him play the fiddle? Great fiddle player too!
He was awesome singing or playing guitar he could do it all he sure is missed.
@@quentinpickens4088 damned good fiddle player too.
The people that make the comments didn't know Merle Haggard like I did he was a good friend a good teacher an excellent musician he was teaching me how to play the guitar when I lost finger in my left hand and I could no longer play because of the excruciating pain in the womb and still does we used to sing and pick out in the bleachers it's Soledad yard Merle Haggard shorty Freeman myself and one other that I can't remember his name if you don't believe me look up shorty Freeman in South Bakersfield he has a church there thank you for letting me enlighten you a little on a great man and friend may God bless and keep him always he's up there picking and singing for the Lord now amen
He was so o o o good! I could listen to Merle and his songs every day! RIP Merle knowing how much we all loved you and miss you! :)
@Mark Hoffman Hello! Have a good day! :)
@Mark Hoffman ciao Mark!🙋😊😍😘💘
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
I have always hesitated to say who my favourite COUNTRY SINGER IS but now I wil admit that it is MERLE HAGGARD... From New Zealand Mate ... YOU ARE THE BEST and I am 71 years old and I've heard a few.
Back when country music was adult entertainment not bubble gum like today.
It ain't just his singing but he's an amazing guitar player
This is what country music is about! The man was the voice of the working class! Not only could he sing it he lived it! Merle Haggard may be gone but the mark he left on us will last forever!
For the love God… among the best in my mind . Blessed to see him twice… shook his hand and chatted for a minute in Norfolk … great vid
Songbird!!!! Mid 80's Merle Haggard was at the top of his game with his voice and his playing. We miss You Merle!
This man can play and sing !!!!!!
Mr Haggard is an American musical treasure, it just took me 2 centuries to figure it out...
I want to debate this song to my husband or 27 yrs , who past 3 years ago , I still love you , always And forever. What am gonna do with the rest of my life ? Your one and only Cowgirl !🤠
I would love to see Merles hat collection,I heard he gifted most of them to the people he met along his journey,how friggin cool is that, GODSPEED HAG!!!
Man. Merle was amazing on guitar. So underrated.
To say i love this artist and performance wouldnt begin to explain how i feel ....
Nobody like Merle! Loved him since I was a little girl listening and singing these songs with my daddy.
Hag you were the best. Merl what are us fans going to do with the rest of our lives without you?
don`t have to look very far Mr ben haggard is doing a great job of picking and singing his dad`s songs and some of his own.
I've been asking my self this everyday for the past 7 yrs. That's when the absolute love of my life for 48 yrs. went to heaven
Love you ms.laura...hes still with you...
@@jamesw.scarber4924 I'm still here will be 91 in January
@AmericanPride I'm still here and haven't got the answer to that song. I'll be 91 in January. Still alone
@@all95621 bless you, bless you!
@@curtrod Tomorrow I'll be 91. In my head I say I'm goin' on 50 but my body says no no you're not. Be safe where ever you are.. Nest month Gil will be gone 8 rs. & I still haven't figured it out.
The voice and the presentation of his songs can't be matched.
I sure miss Merle,he had a magical voice.
Gdamn how can you replace this man. Impossible. His boys are incredible but lord this mans talent is off the wall
Could the lord have mercy
....this song takes me away........sweat mercy its more than i can take listening to my truth from you friend Merle.. carry on .....swing the Chariot low angel.
You was the best song writer and best singer loved you very much ❤
In total command *"Haggard stands alone."!! Great Performance..
Love that damn tele of Merle’s ! Whoo! That is such a fine guitar!
This man just oozed talent. Superb.
Love Merle's style in that he had long bridges while you thought about the lyrics you'd just heard...it really drives the point home...
Here, it's real simple...the guy says he can smoke and drink until morning, and he'll probably be okay, but what about the rest of his life? Then you get an extended musical interlude while you consider this poor bastard's situation... alone until he dies...
Your comment was fine to call him a bastard
You obviously understand the Hags music perfectly....!!
@@jennydavis7141 you can usually get away with referring to someone as a poor bastard...it’s usually a sign of sympathy and understanding of the situation.
He suffered that life cause he knew he wasn't alone. More than plenty of us are right there along with him.
@@jennydavis7141 I was referring to the character in the song. Just because it's in the first person doesn't mean it's autobiographical. It's no different than Joe Brandon bragging about how he singlehandedly stormed Omaha Beach on June 6th of last year and took out a Nazi machine gun nest with a broken trench knife. Same thing.
A lot of current musicians wish they had the talent of the likes of: Merle haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and such!
Dammit, this is awesome!!
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
Thank you . reminds me of my brother Frank-o. Merle u r the best !
Merle Jesus called you home at the right time. You certainly wouldn't love this world Now
I will always be playing your beautiful music
❤
All of today's so called country music stars should be required to sit down and watch Merle Haggard videos. This is country music not the shit they call country music today
No kidding. Just watched L. Bryan tell some kid he was too old-school on A idol. What a clown. Oh, after singing a Merle song too. Good grief.
Once again this song is fantistic..
but then this is Merle Haggard singing so how could it not be...❣❣
tears won't stop just to listen to this song... love is precious u only know it when it's gone...
I cried real tears when he passed.
Listen to that voice. The best ever. Rip hag
It's definitely county music and what it should sound like
Don't get no better than this yall ❤
couldnt have said it better myself
🐩🦢🐎
😇
Seeing Merle 2 mo. Before he passed singing Okie. And Toby Keith stepping up to help him and seeing him here so strong breaks my heart Rest In Peace Merle
You were and will aways be the best thing that ever happened to Country music.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Got few of these replies. All the same. Love you Hag. Having a drink of good whiskey for you man. Loving the song. RIP
The best REAL Country Music Singer of All Time!

He was at his peak!!! My goodness how incredible… there are great performers in our time … but this is just amazing
Not to many. All about fame
I just wonder how all the other people working with him.
Such an honor, I'm sure.
Was he a nice man, did he treat everyone fair.
This is legendary.
Talk to the people who played with him.
He even wrote this music 40 years ago
RIP Ol merle i will always regret not being able to see him live before he passed. I remember the day he did I was at work and they announced it on the radio and the dj said that he was going to play Hag songs all day. His legacy will never be forgotten. Everybody says Jones is the GOAT but I can't lie to myself, that title belongs to Merle Haggard sorry but not sorry.
This gets me remembering that music can give you working control of your feelings through a story in lyrics and various blends of beautiful instraments sounds,...Merle Haggard was the best at this,....I miss you my friend...😢 🇺🇸
My life mirrored much of what he sang about, I too believe in the power of music and the style in sounds and expressions of it say a lot about many talented people.....😊 🇺🇸
What would WE do if we could never hear Merle Haggard's wonderful voice the rest of our lives. 🎵💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Hag can sure play that old tuff dog ,wipe the sweat away and not miss a lick ! He was the very Best in country !❤️👍
The true king of country blues , besides John conlee almost no one spoke to the heart of the working man like Merle haggard . Country definitely lost its soul
Complete perfection, the best that ever has been…
Merle was unbelievable. The man could do it all.
Love you Hag, sure is lonely down here without You. 🙏💖
fok. i felt the same way. what am i gonna do after tomorrow.for the rest of my lonely, missin' you, life. . thanks mel. few more lessons, he could be great.
I love Merle. He could play that guitar. I love this song. Been there, done that.
Merle will be remembered in Real Country World forever, super great artist, RIP Merle!😢
Boy, I can relate to this one. When my first wife left me, my first reaction was "what do I do now?"
Love the transparency!
The quality makes me melt…..
Met him several times on his motor home,one of the best singers to ever come along,and played well on top of it ,great musician
Yes, he's one of the best! I can't believe he has long been gone! I've only known him this Covid time.
Lucky dog!
He wasn’t just an amazing musician he was the heartbeat of country music! He was the greatest
i cant believe he is gone.....what a loss
Hi dear,how are you?
You just can't beat this,,a true one of a kind that won't be replaced.
There will Never be another Merle Haggerd or George Jones. Their emotions & soul jut pour out in their music. ❤❤
Forever the greatest..THE HAGG..maestro singer composer poet guitarist..LEGEND! RIP HAGG still listening it's 2024..❤❤❤ U.
Would the lord have mercy on me. How beautiful.
What a very talented man, RIP Merle.....
Luckily for me, my father in law Ken got tickets for himself, my wife Peggy, and me to see him live at Wild Horse Pass casino here in Arizona about 5 or 6 years ago. And room to crash in for the night. RIP Merle, Ken, and Peggy.

Merle haggard turned me country in the 70s
Merle Haggard sure could jam.
If you’re here you already know what real country music is,if you’re here & you don’t know well now you do this is the real deal
I would give an awful lot to be in that audience that night❤
So many great country singers, one of my favorites. I'll always remember the day he passed away. Love this guy so did my mom and dad. Thank you for the video you all be good be safe.
At 2:09, The Mighty Merle takes his left hand completely off the guitar to deal with something in his eye! BOOM! If I wouldn't have seen the hand movement, I would never have known because he's that GREAT!
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
The world is fast running out of legends like this i don't no what else to say ❤❤❤❤❤
One of my favorites from Merle's 1983 album titled, "That's the Way Love Goes".
Just tell me that there ever was anyone better than Merle. The man was a great songwriter, musician and an AWESOME singer!!! Anyone?
not unless they're lying
Oh how I can relate to this been married for 32 years so sad for me but what a wonderful song
Best singer who expresses the PAIN of love
❤Haggard was exquisitely SMOOOTH❤❤❤
I sure miss that wonderful voice. The best country. P drozd
REAL COUNTRY MUSIC right here, country music isn’t country music anymore , today’s “ country “ is part rap, part hip-hop and the other parts wish they were real country music. Beautiful voice with a country band .
I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?
Today it's whine, whine, whine to the Beach. And then run to the bank!
My breakup was a year and a half ago, more, really, and this man's talking to me like it was yesterday. I wish I'd heard this back in March 2021 but it still helps today. Thanks, Merle. You truly are the G.O.A.T.
Merle always has the tastiest guitar solos! What can he NOT do? RIP HAG
Love this man and his music 🎶 God bless his family! So thankful for these recordings!!!! Thankful for.odern technology!!
