[sturdle]

something lovely with this....

[MrFisherman02]

Great video, good picks of Roger and Merle.

[remickstered]

I bought "Going where the lonely go " for my aunt when I was just a kid. I totally dug this song then and I totally dig it now!

[mnaicck]

That's Merle on the guitar solo, I believe

[SL04]

Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers does an amazing cover of this. Just search Avett Give Up Train or something.

@SL04 The only reason I am listening to this is because Scott Avett.

2 of the Cream on top.

as good as Merle's original version from "My Love Affair With Trains" LP.......Roger's part just adds something special. There are few songs that Merle does a duet that is as good as the original, but this one is.

[dumper123100]

Had an album titled "Only The Lonely" Had this song & several other of equal Quality.

Cannot find it anywhere. I cry every time i hear this. Wonderful

[vader6972]

[BCRification]

That is good! Won't hear that one on today's radio..Thank God for XM/Sirius, they still play it!

[mrmiller1107]

I am Rogers fourth born child, Shari. I have never heard this song before. It brought tears to my eyes. I sure do miss him.  Thanks for all the good comments.

@mrmiller1107 My daddy played steel guitar with Roger when they were in the army so I have listened to Roger Miller all my life! I love ol Roger.

[dumper123100]

[WOODYSKYM]

Hag Has Done This Song Solo As Well But I Believe The Duet With The Late Great Roger Miller Is The Best

[texcavy]

Wow?! I think. :)

[comeonfolks]

Roger Miller is the best! I dunno, I do like Merle Haggard, but Roger Miller is what makes this song for me

[yearling4]

Wow, where did you get the pics from? Nice song, never heard that one before.........

[ronshalita]

anyone happen to notice... when they harmonize they sound like a train?

[Triangelina]

This is one of my favorite songs from Merle :D

[gaspardstube]

Thanks for adding this song... Great tune!

[herringbone28]

Oh, and the song itself was released on "My Love Affair With Trains" album that Merle did but you are correct...that version didn't have Roger Miller on it

[herringbone28]

Thank you so much for this wonderful post. This song means the world to me because my daddy was an engineer and so am I...it plays across my mind every time I take a trip on an old dusty coal train! Thanks again!!!!!!

This is a song written by Mark Yeary. check him out on you tube.. he is a great musician, produced a lot of hag's stuff, and played piano for him for many years
