HAGGARD'S GONE 22/12/2016 KEY OF D


I NEVER HEARD THE SOUND
OF THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOWING
BUT I FELT HIS PAIN
WHEN HE SANG HOW MAMA TRIED
JUST AN OAKIE BOY
DOING WRONG AS HE AS GROWING
PUSHING THE LAW
FROM THE OTHER SIDE


TOOK THEM SILVER WINGS
TO A HONKY TONK IN NASHVILLE
GAVE THEM A FUGITIVE
AND THE LEGEND OF
BONNIE AND CYLDE
WHEN THE APPAULSE DIED DOWN
THERE STOOD
THE OAKIE FROM MISKOGEE
A MAN WHO SANG OF THE TRUTH
AND OUR FIGHTIN SIDE


WHOOSE GONNA TELL THE TRUTH
NOW IN COUNTRY MUSIC
WHOOSE GONNA TELL US
WHATS GOING ON
WE'VE LOST A POET
A FREIND AND A TRUE DREAMER
MAN WE'VE LOST PART OF COUNTRY
NOW HAGGARDS GONE


STOOD FOR THE WORKIN MAN
AND HE MADE IT THROUGH DECEMBER
PLAYED AT THE OPRY
AND SANG HIS WAY BACK HOME
JUST A SMALLTOWN BOY
WHO WAS LOVED IN THE BIG CITY
WHAT WE GONNA DO
NOW THATS HAGGARDS GONE

WHOOSE GONNA TELL THE TRUTH
NOW IN COUNTRY MUSIC
WHOOSE GONNA TELL US
WHATS GOING ON
WE'VE LOST A POET
A FREIND AND A TRUE DREAMER
MAN WE'VE LOST
PART OF COUNTRY
NOW HAGGARDS GONE

INSTRUMENTAL

WE'VE LOST A POET
A FREIND AND A TRUE DREAMER
MAN WE'VE LOST
PART OF COUNTRY
NOW HAGGARDS GONE

Brad,

A well written tribute. Impressive number of Hag references.

(Glad you got "December" in there - my favorite!)

Nicely put together. Enjoyed it.

Really well done!! I have to confess I never listened much to country over the years but some here on the forum have really turned me onto it. This sounds really good-great arrangement, mix, and vocal! Very good writing too. I heard Merle sing on "The cost of living" off Don Henley's Cass County. Love that vocal! Keep posting! Take care. Greg
