Merle hit the nail on the head

I recall hearing a DJ relay a story about Haggard's mother. After achieving success she was asked "Aren't you proud of you son for his accomplishment?" Her response can only be classified as one of a true honest mother. She said "I have 3 children and I'm proud of them all". A true mom if ever there was one!

everyone has done wrong, some more then others. But if you want true honest music, then you need to give a listen to "MR. MERLE HAGARD"!!. He did it all, "right and wrong, paid his dues, paid for his mistakes and left us with some of the "GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC".....there is or ever will be. If you doubt that....just give a listen to any brand of music today....God has him now and he is safe and at peace.....his last song will break your heart......"I'm tired of it all......we love you Merle.

This man was classy. He surely paid his dues. He may have done some wrong in life but who hasn't. Love all his music, and sure do miss him.

Hello there how you doing over there today

In meiner frühen Jugend in 1950er Jahren hörte ich jeden Tag mit Begeisterung nachmittags auf AFN Munich Country- Musik. Jetzt mit 83 Jahren habe ich Merle Haggard entdeckt. Dafür bin ich dankbar. Seine Stimme und die Geschichte in seinen Liedern rühren an meine Seele und ich muß oft weinen. Merle Haggard on my mind. Ruhe in Frieden!

It is wonderful that Merle's mother, who had to deal with so much trouble with her son in his younger years, got to live to an old age so that she could see the incredible success that her problem child went to have in his life - becoming the greatest country songwriter of all time. She must have been proud in the end.

When mom smiled I smiled automatically. 😊😌🥰

I always think of my Mom when I hear this song. Our Dad left our Mom "with a heavy load" too... when he took his own life, Leaving Mom with his 4 mean ass boys to contend with. I have no memory of him, just stories and very few pics. He was a medic in the Korean war. He saw it all. If anyone is having suicidal thoughts , please get some help. Although they may not show it or say it, There are people in your life who need and love you and depend upon you. You can get past it. That's all I know to say.

Met Merle Haggard and Mr Roy Nichols in March 1973 in Chicago IL. Met Mrs. Haggard later that year as she was on Marty Haggard's tour in Harrison, AR.

Merle got his cheekbones from his mama, she was a very pretty lady. His voice is so silky, truly once in a generation.

The greatest Country singer in the history of the world. No questions. Sure do miss him.

She probably yelled at him “ don’t make me cry you’ll muss up my make up “ I love at the end him saying y’all don’t bother her now . Like I will catch another case if ya do .

Despite the trouble he got in you know his momma is still so proud of him !

Merle the one and only. Rip hag you were the best

Real music. Real people. Real morals. Real.

His mother was so beautiful. I’m sure she was so proud of her loving son.

i can only imagine how proud she must have been to see him overcome and succeed like he did

If "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the best country song ever written then "Mama Tried" is definitely number 2. It might just be number 1 though! Merle was the best country ARTIST of all time.
