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 »

I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
Bring your tips boys put them in the old tin can
Buy me a drink boy and I'll do a little bit of the old soft shoe
Put a little something in the kitty and I'll sing and dance for you

Me I'll play a number you get to buck and wing
I'll sing a sad song if you want to hear me sing
Just name your pleasure and dig down in your jeans
My body needs a beverage and my guitar need some strings

I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
Bring your tips boys put them in the old tin can
Buy me a drink boy and I'll do a little bit of the old soft shoe
Put a little something in the kitty and I'll sing and dance for you

Well I caught pneumonia walking in the pouring rain
But I found heaven in a little room in New Orleans
A Cajun woman she loved me till I got strong
Then I caught a freight train right out of her heart and I wrote about it in a song

I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
Bring your tips boys put them in the old tin can
Buy me a drink boy and I'll do a little bit of the old soft shoe
Put a little something in the kitty and I'll sing and dance for you

I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
I'm a song and dance man come and gather round me and clap your hands
