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 »

My family called me on the phone and said
"Grandpa would you come home?"
We'd love to have you here on Christmas day
We know you won't get on a plane
But grandpa you can ride a train
You can see the scenery along way"

Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Got my big red knapsack loaded down
Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Soon, I'll be rolling into town

I know everybody there will be happy
And they'd be down to meet me
When they hear the whistle sound
I know my one-horse stage will be waiting
On the choo-choo bringing Santa Claus to town

Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Got my big red knapsack loaded down
Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Soon, I'll be rolling into town

Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Got my big red knapsack loaded down
Going home for Christmas
Coming on a train
Soon, I'll be rolling into town

Going home for Christmas
Hey, so good to see you all
