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 »

I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the daytime
I make my running 'round at night

I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
Had the blues this morning
I had the blues all day today
But when the sun goes down
I'm gonna tuck my blues away, away that's what I said

Roy, tuck away

I mean my heart starts beatin'
And the sun starts sinking low
Lord, my heart starts beatin'
When that sun starts sinking low
When the shadows fall
I know it's time to go, go, Norm!

I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky-tonk nighttime man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the daytime
I do my running 'round, 'round at night, all round
