Merle Haggard - Will You Visit Me On Sundays? Lyrics
Just outside these prison bars the hanging tree is waitin'
At sunrise I'll meet darkness and death will say hello
Darling touch your lips to mine and tell me that you love me
Promise me again before you go.
Will your big blue eyes be misty will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling would I hear your footsteps up there.
Promise me that time won't separate me from your mem'ry
That you'll remember me until the days of silver hair
If not for you I know I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care.
And will you visit me on Sundays, will you bring me pretty flowers
A grave is filled with silence but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling would I hear your footsteps up there.
Will you visit me on Sundays, will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling would I hear your footsteps up there...

Just outside these prison bars
a hanging tree is waiting
At sunrise I'll meet darkness
and death will say hello
Darling put you lips to mine
and tell me that you love me
promise me again before you go
Will you visit me on Sundays,
Will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty,
will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence,
but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, will I hear your footsteps up there.
************
Promise me that time won't
separate me from your memory
That you remember me
I'm till the days of silver hair
If not for you I know
I'd lose my mind before the morning
Hold me close and tell me that you care
Will you visit me on Sundays,
Will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty,
will you brush away a tear
A grave is filled with silence,
but if a sleeping man could hear
Darling, will I hear your footsteps up there.
Will you visit me on Sundays,
Will you bring me pretty flowers
Will your big blue eyes be misty,
will you brush away a tear.....
He could a very good impression of Marty Robbins and others. He named a son after Marty Robbins. Both were GREAT singers, may they rest in peace.
Merle nails this! Conway Twitty does an incredible version of this on his original 1970 Hello Darlin' album, my favorite version by far.

A good version of a song I always heard by Charlie Louvin.
Such a Tormented Beautiful Question, put to sad tune 🥀
My funeral song
Ugh--the hanging too?
Mary O'Donnell what do you mean
Dustin Reagan You want a funeral song with a hanging in it??????
Yeah I guess I do
Love this song I listen to it everyday
Beautiful song.
oh my God this song breaks my heart, love it , only Merle could sing this
I'm pretty sure Johnny Cash could sing it to.
He had full stereo from both lungs back then.
And he could always breathe in key.
he gave us so very, very much. his songs made us laugh, dance and cry. I saw him the first time in 1966 I'm 64 now and never stopped going to his concerts. his music and that unique, incredible voice will live forever. thank you, Merle. God bless your soul.
Carson how are you doing
R.I.P Merle. Thanks for the great songs
Ol Merle is the best.
I love Merle too, but in my opinion Johnny Cash is the best.
Jer5th ry Coughlin
Definitely... perfect pitch !!!
ohhhh man what a voice !!!
charlie louvin did this after his brother was dead, then george jones, merle and .....

@1974Pbass Thanks for the info. I had no idea they did it. I guess I'm going to have to scout around the tube and see if I can find it. I'd love to hear their version.
ivan, you're correct. "Sing Me Back Home" was written for Merles friend on his way to the gas chamber. (Death penalty in CA) This song was originaly done by Conway Twitty.
I George jones
I haven't hear this song before. Great.
