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.

If I Had Left It Up To You Lyrics
Merle Haggard
You made plans to leave a thousand times I know
And a thousand times I should have let you go
But each time I'll always beg you back somehow
If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now
It'd all be over now cept the crying
I'd be used to spending all my nights alone
Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow
If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now
It'd all be over now cept the crying
I'd be used to spending all my nights alone
Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow
If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now
