Haggard, Merle - Misery And Gin Lyrics
Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fadin' fast.
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this honky tonk heaven really makes you feel like hell.
I light a lonely woman's cigarette
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame
But here I am again...

I want his hat
God how I miss his music 😢🥰
Voice sounds great here. God bless Hag!
I wish I had been listening to Merle instead of adam ant and Duran in my youth.
three chords and the truth
powerful yet beautiful song!! Love it.
Love. All. The music. !!
What. I. Give. For Merle to. Sing. Another. Song.
GOD BLESS Merle
Listening to Merle on my dead dads birthday. See ya later.
This is what country music is all about,the jokers who get on stage now are not country they are basement junkies and not worth a damn
I feel this song. So much pain in the lyrics. Even if you’re the guy at your local bar, you feel alone at the end of the day. RIP Merle
I’ll make sweet love to you!
Good ol,boys!@@@!!!!!
The bass player rocks!
Merle's voice was amazing as his songs, what a treasure.
Merle and those of his generation meant it. They put themselves into their songs. These days the songs are processed. £ or $ in the eyes. 😪
It just does not get any better than this.
Merle and Keith Whitley ......who has the purest voice. It's too close to call
Amen to that brother.
The Hag is Amazing 🙌🏻
WOW THE greatest ever. He can write and sing like no one.
These lyrics are amazing. I keep coming back to this.
Beautiful!
Mr Haggard is a Country Music Scholar.
If I had a dog, his name would be Merle.
This is a awesome song!!!!
So much emotion put into this song,absolute classic Merle r.i.p.
Love, liquor and loss. Merle in his prime and the best country song ever made. Pure poetry. Terveisii Kotkast!
Sitting with all my friends and talking to myself.
I wish I could have seen him live
as long as its a good gin. the woman are always Beautiful!
No one better then the Hag there is none today that can come even close with the trash they call country today.
WoW. Didn’t know the hound could play the sax. 0.48 sec.
Lyin jukebox aint you got a song, that tells the truth I didnt do her wrong?

a poet and a great story teller. This okie from California was and always will be a singer who makes this texan toast a cocktail to any Merle song thats on the juke box
Good one 💙..........JoAnn Houser
The Best .
Drinking a Drugs isn't the answer. Jesus Christ is what this old world needs to do is get back to God a give your problems a misery to him because he cares for us all of us. Merle Haggard Elvis Presley a Johnny cash all found out in the end when they were older that they waisted their lives we're lost sheep a that God was waiting for them to come back to the good Shepherd. I believe they all did. They all had Bible believing mom's that loved them a raised them to love God a keep their faith in him. I believe their souls now w God in heaven. Rip you all chosen men by God.
Nope . Stop believing in such childish things .
Never heard Haggard sing a song I didn't enjoy,. What an Entertainer !!
AMEN TO THAT
I love him. 😊
70 Kane Brown fans ?
Another great song!
I love this song but I always here "light a lonely women's cigarette, start talking about what we warnt forget" and it always sounds odd
Mixing misery with any alcohol is bittersweet...good and bad

My Favorite Memory
Anybody know who the bassist or keyboard players are?
Merle displays the value of redemption and the musical world was a better place because of him.
And that's the utter truth✌💜
💗💗💖💖💗💖💖💖💗💞💞
Merle's voice on this version is pure GREATNESS! His phrasing, the notes he hits, his timing of lyrics and the pure heartache and conviction he sings the lyrics with just draws you into the hurt the lyrics speak of!
Kevin E. Pratt how many modern songs can do that?
@Jleed989 not any I know of.
Hag as always been my favorite and still in my 80's I could listen to his voice every day!♥
Very poetic indeed. Not what you hear now like "My beer, my girl, my truck".
Love you Hag. You are missed. Never be another great one like you.
Hey I’m 15 and I love the hag
Layne McCall good taste
Good for you son!
What I'd Give For My Baby To Just Walk In...
There will never be another
No one on his league
In his own class.
His son, Ben Haggard is close. "It's All In the Movies". You can hear it hear on You Tube.
Ftra. Jacksonville Florida hobo curtis
And then Jacksonville Jaguars go Jaguars

😍 His Voice!❤
Every man's felt like this at least once in his life.
Joshua Brooks for sure
This dude owns the soul..
Ben Haggard is so close. All in the Movies is a great one.
41 people voted down. LOL. This is the best thing. Ever.
Gin and tonic with lime is simple, classic, and delicious.
Yes indeed. A little Gin and then I get with my only lover my piano.
Back before Austin City Limits starting letting just anybody off the street perform
Kevin Adams yes, I quit watching it years ago
Only thing wrong with this song is 3:19
He is phenom. Complete.phenom
Look at Leona Williams in back. So hot
That's not Leona Williams. That's Donna Faye a backup singer for Merle
Beyond good. The very best ever
