Merle Haggard - You Babe Lyrics

Sometimes this ol' world's a drag,
it really puts me down
I try so hard but nothin' comes around
Then I look up to find that I've no reason to be blue
I've already found the whole wide world with you

And if there's nothin' else I do
To spend my whole life through
Lovin' you, babe, you babe

I'll always be in command
Just as long as I'm the man
Lovin' you, babe, you babe
And I can stand real tall
Stand up to it all lovin' you, baby, just you
***************
One time this old rocky road block
was just too tough
I felt like sayin', "Lord, I've had enough?
Then I heard something special
that a deaf man couldn't miss
I heard it in the whisper of your kiss

And if there's nothin' else I do
To spend my whole life through
Lovin' you babe, you babe

I'll always be in command
Just as long as I'm the man
Lovin' you babe, you babe
And I can stand real tall
Stand up to it all lovin' you, baby, just you
Mmm lovin' you babe, you babe.....

the Hag's popularity was fadin, by this time.

I think you you got very very wrong the man was taken a well deserved Break.

Love The Hag and everything he ever sang! Every night, headphones on, I drift off to dreamland and wake in the a.m. still listening to the Great Merle! Sometimes I change it up and listen to Noel and Ben Haggard, singing their Daddy’s songs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Me too, this is REAL country by the greatest of them all. So miss him not being around.

Wow, can't believe There was a song of Merle's I had not heard! Wonderful, thanks for having this!

Sooooo Good! He can't sing or write a bad song. He'll always be #1.

Thanks Wilbur, great song!!

Loved Merle since the 60's even before I saw him in concert with Buck Owens. His music will play on in my home for ever.

I sure loved the music Merle put out in the 80's & 90's. It just had a certain sound about it. This album & his Blue Jungle hits..his work with George Jones..all good

Thanks Wilbur. Another great one by Merle.
