Haggard, Merle - Huntsville Lyrics
That old white haired judge in Dallas
Didn't pay my story no mind
They're takin' me down to Huntsville
I'm bringin' in a load of time
And proved everything I done
I'm on my way to Huntsville
Bt I'm looking for a chance to run
My hands don't fit no choppin' pole
And cotton never was my beg
The men better keep both eyes on me
Or they're gonna lose old Hag
Hey there ain't so far to Mexico
They're takin' me down to Huntsville
But I'm not gonna stay
They got me chain and leg irons
I guess they got a good excuse
They know I'm gonna run the first chance
I get cause they never gonna cut me loose
And I really don't care if they shoot me down
I'll never be free again
I've got two long life turns to do
Both runnin' in the end
Hey there ain't so far to Mexico
There I can find my way
They're takin' me down to Huntsville
But I'm not gonna stay

I was held against my will,out north of Huntsville at Ferguson.Cut their damn grass for 5 1/2 years.
Could see Eastham Unit on the East side of the Trinity River.Saw where the law held Clyde Barrow.
You break the law in Texas,they will hide your ass out in the boondocks.
The Best
Rode down from Tennessee to take a job , ain't Lookin back , it ain't so far to Mexico, sunshine all my days ......
Really liked it. <3
When Merle sang..God was showing off....
ol hag at his best.......
Did 23 years in Texas. Escaped once. They caught me in a retention pond hiding in the reeds. The lady in the gun tower had a bandage on her hand, so she couldn't shoot for crap.

I'm not gonna stay. ................

HUNTSVILLE ,TX 2000 UP TO 2012 , ELLIS UNIT. I SEE EYE TO EYE W OLD MERLE.
i'm a Merle fan and live in Huntsville,Tx. and just discovered this gem! Can't help but wonder if it wasn't inspiration for Ronnie Van Zants "Four Walls of Raiford"???
Or Johnny Cash's San Quentin
Well like I've said Merle haggard is my biggest musical influence!
Alot of his music was underrated.
Yep, too bad that alot of his best songs weren't hits.
What a great song !!! Can you hear that bad ass bass line and that tele singing ???
Thank wilburscott for the posting this song. It blows my mind how this wasn't a big hit for him. Time for an Old Milwaukee.
Always loved this tune. Very underrated Merle song.
Time for a Schlitz!!!
Damn, can't get enuff of this song!!!!!!!
Damn, i need another Schlitz after this song!!!
getting hard to find in old Chicago new beer 10 a 6 pk?
Thank you for posting this great Merle song. This has to be one of the best unknown songs by Merle.
Bruce you are so right
Amen!l ongbows&sixguns
One of my very favorties of Merles...
