Merle Haggard - I Threw Away The Rose Lyrics

Love all his songs

💖💖💖💖💖

Love Merle Best male singer ever was /wrote about truth /

HEAR THAT LONELINESS, IN HIS VOICE

I think all the Haggard young men sing alot like their dad . I enjoy all their music and singing. Lisa Ellis.

Avery nice tune and a great artist love it.

Brilliant song 66

I can never get tired of his songs and singing, I'm 72and never get enough of the beautiful style of his songs

Songs I played to get thru my first broken heart . And tried my hand drinking . All at a very young age ! Thanks Hag !! For your and God's help !!

Rolling Stone's 100 greatest singers brought me here.

Same!!!

Love this song

I had these songs memorized before I could talk.

This was one of the very best beer drinking songs ever.

Couldn't slow down long enough to smell it I guess.Ill have a granny low in a bottle.Cans dont taste the same.

Who is here because of the ranch?

my nigga

George Jones liked this song by merle if not mistaken he left his concert and flown to were merle was playing .

Love Merle my favourite of all times❤️

Perfect in every way!!

Love this old song , well sung by Merle Thanks for post ~ Arthur

Absolutely Love him

He threw away the rose when he cheated on bonnie

You're so right

Just one of those things

Many a good country song was about cheating

Thank you Merle for all you have done for all of us. Your music carries on daily. Folk who have never even met you and still love you...

I love this song. It reminds me of my father. He kept the wine and threw away the rose throughout my childhood. When I listen to this song I can recall locking my drunk father outside on Christmas Eve and watching him rambling words I was too young to understand.

Another lovely song by Merle , ~ Arthur

I can add myself to to this list. Sometimes we make mistakes

one of the greatest country singers ever love this song and love merle thanks for this

He passed away on his birthday. That really blows. But his music will always be there for fans and future fans to enjoy. RIP Merle

that does blow!! my birthday also, April 6th, and day on which Tammy also died

One of Hag's very best

I was born in 71 and this is real country music! This bullshit they call country now is garbage! #keithurbanisadouch

Of all the great songs Merle did this is my favorite

I don't know, but could that be Roy Nichols taking a cue from Don Rich, and playing his Telecaster through a Leslie cab?

there will be gifted singers come along as they always have but there will never be another Merle Haggard or George Jones they lived it and wrote and sung and felt it and made you feel it cause most of us are facing battles and troubles daily and can relate it's amazing the smoothness and just pure greatness in his voice n yet so humble. his son Ben is a very good upcoming singer he will be a good star in his own rite but he's not his dad and as he shouldn't be he's got his own talent gene passed down and using it nicely best to all the Haggard kids for their futures

I agree with you the brothers are good but they'll never be a Merle Haggard

GREAT SONG! Merle was the BEST country artist of all time! Still listen to his music! Janelle in Houston

I listen to Merle every day and I love this song. I miss just knowing he's not on this earth. I hope he rests in peace. I also miss Bonnie Owens and I listen to her everyday also. I have listened to them for years and never get tired of their music. I hope she rests in peace also.

I wish I could have been Bonnie Owens and then with Merle his whole life I love both of them

for my Pearl my Maw my best friend i miss her so much

best source of a lot of this music in one place is Merle's box set of his capitol records music, Down Every Road...

Good song! R.I.P. You will be missed very much. Had a lot of great music! 🌹😥

One of my favorite songs by Merle. Especially this version.

I used to listen to this when I was young. My dad had this LP. We couldn't get TV very good, it was black and white, and there were only 3 channels anyway, not counting PBS which I still do not watch. Music has always been bigger than TV. We listened to the Louisiana Hayride and Grand Ole Opry Sat nights on the radio. No FM only AM, but the signals came form long distances then, especially at night. Merle, George, Lefty, and Porter Wagner plus Tammy, Loretta, and Patsy kept us singing. They still do.

This song seems to be the one that's the hardest to find on any of the numerous Merle Haggard compilation albums, i.e. Merle's greatest hits, the best of Merle, etc.

You're right, I looked far and wide for a copy of this song on CD, and none of the compilations seem to contain it. And, I think it's one of his best, go figure.

Do you use Amazon? If so, search "Merle Haggard - Branded Man." They have a compilation album from 2003 on cd for 5 dollars. If you want the actual album though, there is a 2-in-1 "I'm A Lonesome Fugitive/Branded Man" cd for 25 (used- in "very good" condition) or 15 for a digital download.

Great song with Merle Haggard

when I was a teenager I used to play these songs on an 8-track tape player.

Ronnie Hodges I still listen to Merle on 8 tracks in my 1979 Trans Am.

is this from the record or the cd?

I found this song when I was looking for songs about roses and found more Merle country songs that made me a fan of him.
