Merle Haggard

Merle Ronald Haggard (born April 6, 1937) is an American country music song writer, singer, guitarist, fiddler and instrumentalist. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band The Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville Sound recordings of the same era. more »

Lights in the parlor fires in the grate                              
LoOk on the mantle says its getting late
Urtains on the window snowy white
                                  
The parlors pleasant on Sunday night                
Ida Red Ida Red                          
I'm a plumb fool bout Ida Red

Lamp on the table picture on the wall                                      
There's a pretty sofa and that's not all
If I’m not mistaken and I’m sure I’m right                                         
There's somebody else in the parlor tonight

Hiken in the bread bin peking out dough                                 
Granny will ya dog bite no hild no
Hurry up boys and don’t fool around                                  
Grab your partner and truk on down
 
Lights a burning dim fire’s a getting low                     
Somebody says its time to go
I hear the whisper gentle and light                                    
Don't forget to ome next Sunday night

My old Missus swore to me                            
When she died shed set me free
She lived so long her head got bald                                   
She took a notion not to die at all
