This is my Dad's song through and through. I don't know how he raised 3 kids and paid CASH for his second house (the one I moved into as a 6 year old) on the salary he drew. Mom kept us fed, clean, happy, helped my Dad plant a big vegetable garden and Dad put in his time in a sweltering blast furnace. Thanks to my folks for all they did!

[Dust6chap6]

Merle Haggard has found his true talent and fortuntely.... he's bringin it t life. He sings with beautiful sense of tuning and connects with the listener by the warmth and depth in his performance. Hag. hits the spot in or out of love!.

[scd574]

[friendlysnake]

Man o' man, is Hag good. George, Willie and He make up the holy trinity of country music.

[WOODYSKYM]

[DCUPtoejuice]

real country.

[uglymoon78]

Boy this is great! Thanks a million! Some of the best country there is. And what a band it was back then ...

[SavageArmsMan]

I heard in an interview awhile back that he wrote this song after someone asked him what he thought of Jimmy Carter.

Kinda funny.

Go Merle!

[uproar84]

The Hag.. It just doesn't get any better! Thanks for posting

[profnines]

my mothers mother and his grandmom was sisters met him in 1972 before he got used up haha . he actually sang a song he wrote about his grandma in 1980.

[lastboatofday]

I've heard a lot of Merle's songs - but never this one. All his songs are real and timeless. Merle for President!

"for years I've been busting my rear / to make a living, Lord but it ain't made".

Have truer words ever been written?

[laslos3]

they ring true with me!

[hsjock90]

He looks stoned

[1witchshaman]

the HAG!!!

[yearling4]

WOW, I used to have this recorded on VHS from PBS, but someone recorded over my treasure, hehe! It's f#@king awesome to be able to see it again, and I hoped I would too! This was what got me interested in his music. He also sang Silver Wings during this performance and that was one of the first songs of his that caught my attention. Otherwise, I only knew his songs from the 80's, which I also liked, but I didn't even know any of his older songs until I watched this, in '93. Thanks alot!

[shakey64]

[dagny1207]
