  • The greatest country singer ever...

  • @1954danol That was actually declared all over the world.

  • love you merle may you live a long time

  • What is so hard about posting comments about a good country song instead all the vile foul trash talk.

  • possibly one of the greatest songs ever written

    .

  • My brother George is going on his 31st yr of life in prison, a lifer. Last month we saw him, he told us about the kid he just met, 20yrs old, just got there, for a life sentence. George turned 21 in prison doing life without parole....it's hard. Too bad schools got rid of the scared straight programs....

  • @MrBatheros If your brother is a lifer then he is scum that deserves to be there, no one wants to hear about his new 20 year old boyfriend.

  • Since when is it a bad thing to introduce a good song or artist to a new audience? =\

  • One of the top lines in country music...

    "I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole"

    How can you do better than that????????????????

  • Singers Today Sound Tired, But They Don't Sound HAGGARD. They Got Money, But The Don't Have CASH, And They Got Jr. , But They Aint got HANK.

  • I love this song!!!!!!

  • amen

  • I heard this before The Strangers

  • @Schrumunc Yeah! I love that movie, It's like my fave, I only listened to it cuz I heard this on the strangers :)

  • listen to the grateful dead version

  • why does this have 10 dislikes?

    country is the best type of music...

  • @99FAILURES Can't tell if trolling or just stupid...

    But this song is pretty saaaaweeeet.

  • @kiressica no dude i love country with a damn passion. i grown up with it

  • Mama tried but i took an arrow to the knee!!

  • @Leidsewalle fuck you! i hope u get an arrow to the face

  • This song was badass to begin with, The Strangers just made it more so.

  • we can choose to ‘justify’ and defend our assumptions about others, or belittle how people react to our assumptions – if we are confronted about our assumptionsby other people we are more likely to act aggressivily to defend our assumptions. As they are more likely to act aggressive to defend their assumptions.

  • One of the greatest early Haggard numbers.

  • Well, I feel cool... I haven't seen The Strangers. I'm just an Okie from the college town next to Lochapokie. NATL CHAMPIONS 2010 REPRESENT.

  • I love the Merle Haggard song, "Leonard" about the songwriter Tommy Collins..its another great song as is this one.

  • There will never be another voice like Merles. I hope he lives to be 300!!!!

  • @TheChampion613  I agree with you man, I'm just saying that not everyone is like that, even if most people are.

  • whats the strangers?

  • I guess I'm just old, because I love this song not because of some stupid movie, but because when I was 10 I loved it and it still holds true to anyone that didn't listen to thier parents, #%&%$^&(*^% what ever movie.

  • this is my baby daughters song. she is only twenty,but she sin gs this to me all the time... i love you Vanna Denton J.R

  • haah STRANGERS >:)

  • i got this song from the strangers. People say that it scares them now. It doesnt scare me at all, i love the song and the strangers. That movies makes me happy.

  • i cant listen to this song anymore without thinking about the strangers which still scares me even though ive seen the movie like 5 times

  • The Strangers, anyone?

  • thanks for posting this awesome song.

  • when this played in the strangers i was freaking out!!!!!!

  • @griffinisbeast14 ikr bloody catchy hah???

  • A day to Remember -" You Had Me at Hello" Any similarities ?

  • and to think the twangy pop bands today even attempt to level themselves with something of this magnatude, i mean seriously

  • Fuck The Strangers. I looked this up because I wanted to hear it. not because I just watched some movie.

    I brought myself here.

  • @TheChampion613 Said like a true fan of great music, respect to you!

  • @TheChampion613 Hell yea, same here

  • @TheChampion613 welll good for you dont have a cow

  • @ToyMachineSkater91 your comment failed to amuse me

  • Comment removed

  • @TheChampion613 I came because Merle Haggard is a legend

  • @l0yal19 that too.

  • @TheChampion613 This is a good song. Yeah The Strangers was an OK movie, but had the best song in it... Merle Haggard...LOL!!!

  • @TheChampion613 did you ever consider that the movie (shitty though it was) might make new fans?

  • @Fishsticks187 ehh....not really. If they only like one song, I wouldn't really call them fans of the artist.

  • @TheChampion613 Let me share something with you. The first time I ever heard of Social Distortion, was on guitar hero. Since then I've listened to almost every song they've made, and I was so moved that I got their emblem tattooed onto my arm. I'm not saying that SOME people aren't like those you describe, but I don't think it's fair to alienate a whole group of people like that.

  • @Fishsticks187 well. There are very few people like you. Most people just hear a new song and listen to it for a few weeks or so and don't really get into it.

  • @TheChampion613 its all good dude, i saw this in The Strangers, and i says to myself, hey this is a good song. and now i've been introduced to a whole new genre of good ass music

  • @TheChampion613

    I´m from Brazil and I love US country music.

    Sorry for a bad english.

  • @TheS1DN3Y your english is pretty good, dude. you dont need to apologize. learning a new language is pretty hard. you should look up the grateful dead cover of this song. great band. and the strangers DID make this song freaky, but that isnt why i looked it up.

  • @TheChampion613 haha me 2

  • @TheChampion613 watch out, we gotta bad ass over here

  • @TheChampion613 lol i love the strangers though XD

  • @griffinisbeast14 it's good. but people should just look it up when they actually want to listen to it. not because it was in a movie. I highly doubt after watching that movie, that people would be interested in classic country.

    Merle (if he was alive): "here's a song I wrote...hope you enjoy! *starts to play it

    Troll: OMG that song is from the strangerrsss!!!11 you stealed it from that !!!!111

  • @TheChampion613 You're so cool

  • @Aasmund01 I am immune to your sarcasm.

  • @TheChampion613 Appearantly you are not since you acknowledged it.

  • @Aasmund01 *Apparently

    and me being immune to your sarcasm doesn't mean I don't know that it's there. It just means that it doesn't affect me.

    I'm immune to several diseases because I got shots from the doctor, but that doesn't mean I don't know about them.

    Keep on Trolling, you're doing a great job.

  • the strangers made this the most fuckin scary song to listen to

  • @cjkl15kid

    I've been looking for this song for so long & when I heard it for the first time in a long time in 'The Strangers', it finally hit me like a slippery fish.; Anybody who says "Fuck the movie 'The Strangers!; I looked this song because I wanted to hear, not because of some stupid movie!" is in for a rude awakening, too, by the way.

  • @tthomaselli2 Hahahaa damn hipsters.

  • @cjkl15kid you are an idiot

    

  • all i can think about is the main dude's friend walking down the hall in the house and the masked guy walking behind him haha

  • OMG..! Have any of you heard of A Day to Remember? if so listen to this song then go listen to ''you had me at hello'' by a day to remember.!

  • damn fine tune

  • thank you "The Strangers" for ruining this song for me!!

  • @mickslove808

    How did it ruin it for you? Was the movie scary? I love this song and I think it sort of provided the little bit of comic relief to the movie.

  • @cougarsrule45 YESSSSSS :'( It scared me! I can't peacefully listen to this song without worrying about murderers lurking outside my house!

  • thank you merle thank you dead

    peace, love

  • Saw Merle in SF last weekend

  • This is when country music was good. Stuff nowdays is ok but alot of it sucks

  • i crashed my car to this song while i was drinking whiskey....it was worth it

  • You had me at hello - ADTR has the same intro as this! I think..

  • i love this song:)

  • i believe in a classless society where government officials are re-callable if they don't implement the policies there were elected for. That is anarchism.

  • wow I see the remanents of a conversation of Anarchism below, that seems weird for some reasone, at any rate great song I love old style country

  • YES SHE DID!

  • me encanta, la habia escuchado en la pelicula The Strangers

  • oh boy does this take me back! guess the internet IS actually good for something! its almost good as the old man's record collection and a little more conveient than the old hi-fi !

  • Great song

  • Lol i heard this song in the strangers my ister and her friend were like " i know this song this makes me sad!!! OH MY GOD WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!?!"

  • 9 people got the chair, the rest of us did life without parole

  • it wasn't reagan that screwed this country up it .what are you talking about.its the homos polatitions and the greedy capitalist we have today. you have now idea what you are talking about.

  • one and only rebel child from a family meek & mild. :)

  • beast truck song first time i herd this song i was in tennessee lol will g2g by!!

  • screw reagan. he ruined this country.

  • @M0j0S0D0pe420 Okay smart one, how? Give me one logical way why he "ruined" this country.

  • @bbouch111 for two centuries we sustained trade with our country's true values, exactly what the founding fathers decided was best, until Ronnie got ahold of capitalism, and fucked with it too much. Reagan was charming, not really, I wouldn't know luckily I wasn't alive during his reign of Reagonomics (lol). But he plunged this country into the depths of a giant economical and government-run crapper. So capitalism is now butting in on faith, privacy, finances, but leaving the Wealthy to thrive.

  • @M0j0S0D0pe420 You have no clue what Capitalism is do you? What do you believe in, Communism? HA!

  • @bbouch111 I know what capitalism is. It's a retarded economic structure, just like Communism

    No not communism, nooo no no. Marxism is the right version of communism. I'm not one for government to be honest, I like to be an individual and believe what I want to believe. But government, in a whole, is all bullshit. HA!

  • @M0j0S0D0pe420 I like your view of no government. Sounds kind of nice. lol They just need to do their job and leave us alone, just us and the constitution. I don't believe Marixism is "right", I personally believe in capitolism.

  • @bbouch111 capitalism isn't a bad idea. just people abuse it. same with government. maybe if we had a year of no government people will realize not to abuse things and actually take what ideas are out there and try to work with it.

    your music views are bangin btw srv is a blues god

  • @M0j0S0D0pe420 I agree completely. Btw, thank you. lol

  • love this!

  • this song is for my late cousin JP, who died 27 years young, he was my mentor, my PIC, and my best friend. This was always our favorite song and we saw Merle together over 10 times. Ill miss you forever John Phillip Fruguglietti and we both know Mama Tried

  • 9 people had mommas that didn't try.

  • Whenever I hear this song now I look around me to see if the man from the strangers isn't peeping through my windows with a chainsaw or something |:

  • I lOVE YOU MERLE (in a straight way)

  • God almighty did Mama try. Mama i hope you can forgive me.

  • this guy is a legend....im 13 and am not the biggest country fan but i love this guy!!

  • i was at the vibes and man when bob weir started singin this i swear the entire crowd lit up and the audience looked like waves bouncing all around

    this IS country music dammit, and man its awesome

  • Good music.

  • turned 21 in prison doing life without parole, good ole merle!

  • @wicksanu Thank you again to Ronald Reagan for Merle Haggard. His music has been the sound-track for my life. Damn I love classic country.

  • 8 people dont know country music

  • why does all the really scary movies portray those who listen to the old country music as creepy ppl who are dysfunctional and murder, kill or otherwise are just sick??? screw that movie. my family raised us on this and we havent killed anyone yet!!! LOL

  • All you people are idiots this shouldn't remind you of a movie... just listen to the music

  • Just... Wow.  I Love the man.

  • I just did a cover of this, check it out if you get a chance.  One of my all time favorites. - Ghost of Hank

  • I love him so much! I even saw him in concert! It was AMAZING!!!:D I <3 the Hag!

  • A true American legend.

  • I listen to this kind of music all the time...its pretty awesome. Merle Haggard and the outlaws are all wonderful musicians.

  • @Astralovesyou420 your not the only one i don't normally listen this music either

  • God tried...

  • the movie the stranger brought me here i dont really like this type of music to much but i had to check out this song and, well, i really like this one!!!!

  • This is You Had Me at Hello by A Day to Remember hahahahaha Exactly the same beginning.

  • Real country music!

  • i heard thissong from the strangers....scary!

  • @JCRIBBSANDMCCOY HAHAHAH SAME HERE! ITS A GOOD MOVIE

  • PERFECT MOMMAS DAY SONG!!!! LMAO!

  • Does it really matter if people heard this from the Strangers or not? The important thing is they heard it.

  • yyyyyyeeeeeeeeee hhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww­wwww

  • My mom, step-dad, step-mom, and dad are going to see the Haggard live here in his home town next month >.> Also his current guitar player plays guitar in a small local country band my dad sings in and runs so he's even going to get to go back stage and meet him. while I'm stuck at home...

  • I'm not really a country fan

    I've never heard of Strangers

    I only know about this because of the good ol' Grateful Dead

    but whatever

    sweet song

  • I am a true country fan and i knew this song before the movie came out but the movie was good lol

  • THE STRANGERS

  • Lol Just to piss those guys up there ^^^^^ off

    The strangers brought me here hahaha

  • I grew up on this stuff and its got alot of heart. Not like the crap they make now.

  • @ronniesuperfly Listen to some Texas country music. Bands such as the Josh Abbott Band, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, The Kyle Bennett Band, Bart Crow Band. But Jason Boland, really puts the heart back into the oldies. Definately a hell of a lot better than that rascal flatts bullshit, or kieth urban bullshit. Texas country is real country music..the heart of country music. Not that new Nashville shit anymore.

  • @avenged4life100 What's your issue? Merle Haggard is a golden, country oldie, no modern country can hold a candel to it. I don't care where he comes from. he along with hank williams, david allen coe, ernie ford, and many many others totally own anything on the radio nowadays,

  • @bookgirlforlife i wasn't sayin' anything bad about Merle. I love Merle. I agree they own anything on the radio nowadays. That's what i was trying to explain in my above post. That there is a select number of singers/bands who follow the oldies. Boland follows the oldies...he's a big Merle fan. I have no issue. I simply stated some bands that have an oldie flow, and they really appreciate the country that They were brought up on. Hence the reason why they have an oldie flow in their music.

  • @bookgirlforlife Boland has a song called "Hank". "Hank Williams wouldn't make it now in nashville, tennessee. What happened to the music, i loved so long ago..it seems it's been forgotten on our country radio. Where steel guitar and fiddle, have become a novelty, what i'd give to make things like the way they used to be." Please don't make shit into an issue bookgirl. it's youtube, not jerry springer. It's all about the love for the music. Not the love for the fights. hope that clears it up!

  • THE strangers

  • Is it just me, or did the band A Day to Remember copy the intro from this song? The song is Have Faith In Me. It sounds exactly like the intro of this song. :/

  • a B horror movie, the killers came into the house and this record was on a old player by the door, they started it and went all thru the house and in the background was this scratchy old record.... It was a pretty good flick, but the song is off the chain... That's why i have a MAMA TRIED Tattoo....

  • @chokeyoassout Not out to start anything, and definitely not out to diverge from this AWESOME song, but i dont think it's really fair to call "The Strangers" a B movie. It was aimed deliberately in the "terror" perspective opposed to the usual gory horrors, and for it's purpose I think it was very well made.... Horror film fans will undoubtedly let their expectations see the movie as poor though, for that reason. Just saying.

  • THE STRANGERS

  • This song has classic written all over it.

  • Can everyone shut the fuck up and listen to music?

  • @CutthroatAlice Yeah starting with you dickhead.

  • @TheTrueeyes im just fukin with ya killin time, dont cry about it guy, now go away

  • @tommymckelvey same here lol... but ive watched that movie and i dont remember this song being in it... maybe im thinkin of a different retarded ass scary movie

  • No country legends live in Canada they live in USA
