Haggard, Merle - Almost Persuaded Lyrics






Last night, all alone in a barroom
I met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair
And a smile that would tempt any man.

Then she came and sat down at my table
And as she placed her soft hands on mine
I found myself wanting to kiss her
For temptation was flowing like wine.

And I was almost persuaded
To strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded
To push my conscience aside.

Then we danced and she whispered
I need you take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it
The reflection of my wedding band.

And I was almost persuaded
To let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love
Made me stop and go home...

Haggard, Merle Almost Persuaded Comments
  1. R.... V....

    My favorite cover of this old country classic. Merle updated the song and that makes all the difference.

  2. H.... ....

    A classic song off Merle's 1986 album titled, "Out Among the Stars".

  3. B.... H....

    One in a million. What a voice.

  4. D.... M....

    If this version had came out first, it would have been a bigger classic than it already is.

  5. J.... G....

    There are no words to describe a amazing voice for such an amazing person!

  6. l.... ....

    Just beautiful

  7. D.... O....

    I'm a huge Merle Haggard fan, and this hidden gem is absolutely fantastic. I've always loved the song, and now can listen to it by the greatest country music singer ever...!

    D.... O....

    I LIKED THE ORIGINAL VERSION BY DAVID HOUSTON BUT MERLE HAS A VOICE THAT CAN CAPTIVATE ANY SONG HE SINGS

    Loveeee
