Haggard, Merle - It Makes No Difference Now Lyrics

Another great song and a great singer.

My fav version is the Supremes...they recorded this in 1963....great 3 part lead. On their LP Country Western and Pop issued in early '65

I will never forget you Merle.

Nice song by Merle. LorraineG.

JÄTTEFINT

Makes no difference now
what kind of life fate hands me
I'll get along without you now, it's plain to see
I don't care what happens next,
I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now

It was just a year ago when I first met you
I learned to love you and I thought you'd love me, too
But that's all in the past and I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now

Now that we have really parted,
I can't believe we're through
I don't blame myself and I'm sure I can't blame you
But something had to happen
and it happened somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
********************
After all it's said and done I'll soon forget you
Although I know it will be so hard to do
But let things happen as they will
I'll get by somehow
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now
I don't worry 'cause it makes no difference now.....

Beautiful

Never heard this one! Another treasure. Thankyou Merle.

I like the song. Can't people just listen to a song and enjoy it, rather than critique it three ways from Sunday?
If we are all that awesome, then how come we all ain't making records and people critiquing us?
These thumbs down things, there are always gonna be haters and critical P.O.S.'s, can't ya just let someone enjoy listening to a song, rather than ruin for it everyone else?
You don't know what people are going through in their lives at the moment.
It seems every video I watch of a song I love to hear, there is a bunch that hate it, because they want something that suits them.
FOR ONCE, in your little time on this planet, listen to the story, the words, that are being conveyed to you.
You have no idea what was going through the minds of the writer who penned these words to paper, or how others, who have listened to this song or countless other songs, down through the ages, what they were going through, or the memories or thoughts in their heads when they heard a particular song.
Just my thoughts.

I love everything Merle Haggard sings I told my children he could have been their father. I love this man and he leaves great memories for me to cherish. Thanks for your post.

Nedra Bradley I listened to him alot after me separation and divorce. My grandpa really liked him and I remember hearing him play all the time. I saw Merle play a couple months before he passed. He was up in northern Indiana. I'm glad I got to see one of the legends. I like playing his songs on the guitar.

@Jason Hammond I've been in Love with Merle since I first heard his voice. I Love the voice he began this in. I saw Merle in the 70s in Macon Georgia. He was great then.I also go to George Strait concerts but just can't feel the same as I feel for Merle.

You are very blessed the to see this great Legend. I've listened to Merle Haggard the 55 years. I've loved every minute of it. I work a night shift and still is today of every night. Thanks for continuing to play his music.

nice song....thanks so much....

Beautiful song ..i love it

Love all Merles records, He was truly great !!

NUMBER ONE FOR ME,MERLE IS THE MAN

So very true.

He combined the phrasing of Wynn Stewart & the voice of Lefty Frizzell with a style of writing all his own

Very perceptive.

Love it! Never heard the song before until the today!😀

The best of the best. RIP Merle.

The Master

We will miss Mighty Merle! He was the greatest country artist of all time!
Janelle in Houston

I agree. I heard George Jones say the same thing and coming from George that is high praise.

Yes. In fact, Merle Haggard and George Jones each said the other was the greatest. I believe Haggard was just being polite!

Noah Jonas BITCH NOTHING COMING FROM THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING NO TALENT SACK OF SHIT GEORGE JONES MOUTH IS ANYWHERE CLOSE TO HIGH PRAISE

Danny Hollander AS MUCH OF A FAN OF MERLE HAGGARD AS I AM IF MERLE SAID THAT MERLE WAS SO WRONG IT AIN'T EVEN FUNNY. GEORGE JONES WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF THE WORST JOKES OF ALL TIME WITH NO TALENT. HE IS NOT A LEGEND NOR IS HE A SINGER. MERLE HAGGARD IS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. MERLE IS A SINGER. MERLE IS A LEGEND

Agree with you, the best ever ever ever.

Good song by a great artist...Mighty Merle! Sing on Merle! Janelle in Houston

Leave it to Merle to slow it down and make it a hit! Merle you Da Man! No doubt

+Jim Beaumont slowing it down makes it a great song.

Beautiful song and singer  <3

I guess Merle always was a fan of Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan!  And damn I'm glad of that that!

I remember Ernest    Tubb singing this song, Merle does a great job on this song

great song

Greatest version I have ever heard.

Weary darn it not Werry.

I believe its "weary" changes the meaning. Just my opinion.

This song was on a couple albums, Back to the Barrooms, The Way I Am & The Peer Sessions. Another great one from Merle.

Merle can sing Bob Wills' song...Floyd Tillman, who ever..he sounds good what ever he sings....I love his voice and style. No other like Mighty Merle! Janelle in Houston

You are right...werry. Is it a word? Who cares when Merle sings it! Agree! He is the best!
Janelle in Houston

Merle will always be right. Love and thank you Merle.

Merle was always a big fan of Bob Wills.

I've always loved Merle's crisp clear voice. And I guess I have bought every album he ever made, with the exception of his most recent.

yea Janelle! He is legend. that sound that voice and his manner. he sings what he feels.

Merle always pronounce,s the word WORRY as WERRY, but he is THE MAN.

Johnny C his Mom from Ark he has her dialect

What a beautiful song...hope Merle stays around for another 75 years! He is the BEST country artist/singer of all time! Janelle in Houston

Belle voix, belle chanson.

One of my favorite versions of this great Floyd Tillman songs. I just listened to a version of this one by Marty robbins. Thank God for, Hag and Marty !

Beautiful Song,thanks for uploading.

Very nice guitar playing on this song.

My Dad used to sing this with my aunt to make my Mother jealous. circa 1945

I love the guitar break.

EVERYHTING MERLE SINGS IS ALWAYS PERFERCT WITH ME. ITS SO SAD TO SAY THAT MERLE HAGGARDS ONLY COME AROUND ONCE EVERY 100 YEARS EVEN IF THEN

John Newsome only one ever. He's my favorite memory. ALWAYS love this man

A true American legend! Long live Merle!

i think it is on the album { from the king to the barrooms}..!

Love this song and Merle sings it better than Ernest Tubb and its much better than Merles first version which he tried to sing too fast.

Thank you so much for posting this! One of my favorites. Sigh.... :-)

What Album was this on?

not too bad. a little too slow. Compare to Jimmie Davis singing it.

SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL

aaaaaaaaaaawesome!

This is utterly wonderful. Thoughly enjoyed it. Many thanks for posting. Bright stars and hugs..Jan and Susan ♥
