American country singer - after time spent in prison he became a country singer - his first album was "Same Train, Different Time: A Tribute to Jimmie Rodgers". Perhaps Merle came to prominence to many in 1966 with 'Swinging Doors' and 'The Bottle Let Me Down'. Although not his first hits, they were among three hits he had that year in the Top Ten. Later hits followed, including 'Branded Man', 'I Threw Away the Rose', 'Mama Tried', 'Today I Started Loving You Again', 'Working Man Blues', 'The Fightin' Side of Me', 'Okie from Muskogee' and 'If We Make It Through December'. The last two songs seem also to have had a major impact in America.

Back To The Barrooms Again Lyrics
Merle Haggard
Now it's back to the barrooms right back to drinking again
Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me
And whisky won't be my best friend
Now it's back to the barrooms again
The bartender knows me he knows how you do me
And he knows why I'm back here again
He should be given a prize for his patience
Cause bartenders do understand
So it's back to the barrooms again
With the loud music roaring the bartender pouring
And my shaky legs trying to stand
It's over and over I've tried to stay sober
But look what a failure I've been
Cause now it's back to the barrooms again
Yes now it's back to the barrooms right back to drinking again
Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me
And whisky won't be my best friend
Now it's back to the barrooms again
Oh yes it's back to the barrooms again
