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 »

There's a family Bible on the table 
Each page is torn and hard to read
But the family Bible on the table 
Will ever be my key to memories
At the end of day when work was over 
And when the evening meal was done
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
I can see us sittin' round the table 
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages Rock of ages cleft for me

Now this old world of ours is full of trouble 
This old world would also better be
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables 
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
I can see us sittin' round the table 
When from the family Bible dad would read
I can hear my mother softly singing rock of ages 
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
