Merle Haggard — Introduction By Carlton Haney lyrics

Lyrics

The heart of the people of any great nation is its songs
Added to the list of songs written by the great Jimmie Rodgers and Hank
Williams are the songs of our next guest
Songs that he has written about life and love happiness and loneliness
and freedom. Until a man loses his freedom can he really know what it means. Such is the man that is going to sing for you
Here with his Strangers is the only Merle Haggard…
