Merle Haggard - Put Me In Your Pocket Lyrics
Two lovers sat one evening beneath the pale moon light
Tomorrow he must go away, life's battles for to fight
He told her that he loved her and that he'd return someday
And he took her for his darling wife and then he heard her say
No more will I be lonesome and no more will I be blue
And when we have to part, dear, there'll be no sad adieus
For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you"
That evening soon was ended, her lover, well, he went away
And when at last he did return for their happy homecoming day
His sweetheart, well, she was absent, to Heaven she had gone
But she left to him her photograph on which she wrote this song
"Put me in your pocket so I'll be close to you
And when we have to part, dear, there'll be no sad adieus
For I'll be in your pocket and I'll go along with you"

My dad used to sing this to me when I was a wee thing. I have never forgotten the song, and sang it to my wee ones as well.
My grandfather wrote this in1933.....it is time to come back....his wife was named Merle as well--they were my Mamaw and Pappy....W. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel
Lee, I memorized this song as a child. I was born in 58. I am still searching for the cover that might have been available during that era. Can you help? AWESOME TUNE!
What a beautiful song! Thanks for posting this!
I would love to have Merle in my pocket ...
put me in your pocket love this song by Merle Haggard
We miss the GREAT Merle Haggard. He was the greatest country artist ever!
Janelle in Houston
By far the BEST EVER. However Ben is too
I love Merle too but in my opinion Johnny Cash is the greatest.
i wrote this on a photo when i met my wife 52 years ago
my Nana sang this song to me when I was growing up.....At 35 I still smile ever time I hear it. sometimes I even find myself singing it.
This is an old Irish song. My Nana sang this song to me when I was a young boy in the late 1940's. She had come to this country as so many did around 1920. I have fond memories of a wonderful women. She past away in 1968.
I'm sorry for your loss.
never been anything close to Merle since Jimmy Rogers
the wilburn brothers had a great version of this, cant find it though.
@Jim Lovejoy I posted the Wilburn Brothers version, not sure if it's the one you remember. It's from 1950.
thank you
I read someplace that Merle & the boys recorded this album with some basic equipment in one of their living rooms. Sound fine to me..
Yeah, you should listen to the stuff his son Ben Haggard records in his house. Same house.
I am 56 however my mom when she was sick,she would sing this to me every evening. when she could no longer sing to me I would sing it to her. When we burried my mom we put a family photo to go with her.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I still shed a few tears each time I hear this song. Merle is great - no one can sing a song like he can - wonderful.When I first heard this song many years ago it was by a little band in our town who would set up on a flat bed truck in a parking lot each evening and the gal singer would do this by special request. She may have gotten tired of singing it but she was so good. The head of the band's name was Jimmy Hazelwood. I always wondered where they all went to. Thank you for this. - Paula
Our best friends camped and boated with at Lake Mead, NV. Every night around the camp fire, Howard & Gail Lane sang this song. I've looked for the lyrics for many hears. Brings back such memories. Thank You!
Amazing! My grandma Bunny, used to sing this to me when I was little! I haven't heard it in ages! Thanks for putting it up!

My papaw sang this song to me when I was little...I still have the tape, yes, tape of him singing to me!! I miss him so much!! Thanks for posting this!
