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 »

When the ceremony was over 
A lad stood alone in tears
For he had just said goodbye 
To the one he had loved through the years
He stood all alone with his head bowed down 
As though his heart would break
The parson came over and took his hand 
And to him these words he did say
When God comes and gathers his jewels 
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair 
When God comes and gathers his jewels

Every night when the pale moon is shining 
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted up toward heaven 
He's repeating these words he was told
When God comes and gathers his jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair 
When God comes and gathers his jewels
