Can't believe over a thousand buffoons have given this a thumbs down! Two icons like Willie and Merle smoking a j and ripping it up. Legendary!!! A thousand thumbs up!!
Willie you need too make an appearance in Canada more often, so does merle .like everyone grew up listening too you folks back in the 80 s. Come one on back, ,
+Tin_tin132 Willie, Merle, Cash, etc is outlaw country. That new shit on the radio is pop country. Thts the difference. They didnt play what ppl wanted to hear, they played what they wanted to. A lot of country singers today dont even write their own shit, and aint even from the country. They're more on the michael jackson side of things
It's 2022 and I'm sure that seven years later everyone realizes how right these guys were. Classical Willie Nelson on guitar, that sound is just as unique today as it ever was.
+TyillestTV2 - hey I call it for how I see it. keep it always in your mind you are very cool ..no matter how old you get you will always be cool! that why your here because you are badass man! so keep rocking!
+TyillestTV2 Most of realize that No. 1 Willie ain't never growed at all, he was born as he is, a golf playing pot smoking wild man...Merle has drank more whiskey than most good church groups will in a life time...
Use to watch a skinny singer on WBAP, channel 5 in Fort Worth, Texas in 1961, can't believe how great he sounds today. He looks much better with long hair and wrinkles! Fantastic voice and still going. Roy P, El Paso. Tx.
Just love love Willie! For my 80th birthday my family gifted me to his concert in St Augustine March 2023. one of his sons and three backups. His voice is still going strong. H e was my neighbor in Colorado in the late 1970's ! Bless you and happy 90th birthday Willie!!
Somebody once said that the path to greatness and success is to find something you love to do and do it better than anybody. Willie and Merle surely did that.
The Highwaymen, with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson, were legends! Only Willie and Kris are left. Jennings died in 2002 and Cash in 2003 😔
Two "Good old boys" doing what they do best. Making some good music, and having a damn good time while they do it. Class stuff. Good on yer guys. Missing you Merle. Keep it going Willie. From me in New Zealand.
Rest Easy Merle cannot believe the sad news that you have left us God has gained another bright talent. Love your music thank you so much Merle God Bless.
No matter how bad I feel either sick or just lonely since my break up I can play this song and I feel 100 percent better. Love y’all. I love this video too 🥰
@Willie Nelson Hi, you're welcome. I'm very honored that you answered my email! All the best to you! Continued success in your music. Stay safe out there.
what the hell!?!! heard this song so many times and never have seen this video. what a day in the studio! Must have been a HELL OF A TIME!!!! Love and God bless you Willie!
Thank you Willy, for coming to the aid of Farm Aid, American Farmers, the communities, and to the attention of all who desperately needed the hope to continue bringing life and giving of themselves. And, so brave, at the cost of yourself, your family, your "so called" friends, and us, who admire and love you. We are on "ON" Blessings...
Two of the greatest moments in my life: shaking hands with each one of these guys. Both are straight off the Mt Rushmore of American music....r.i.p. Merle.
Oh how I'd LOVE to have that piece of paper the song was written on. I have always loved Merle and I'd have to frame that! They had a blast doing this song and you can tell from all the smiles!
Love growin old with these good ol boys- 62 years of Willie and Merle-so far! No matter how rock n roll you are, Willie is still King! RIP Merle great ol dude- killer team!
I,m not a fan of drugs but i,d would had loved to shared a smoke with cool old Merle and Nelson 😀 and hear some great stories 👍 Rip Merle. Greatings from Sweden.
It simply doesn't get any better ... view, enjoy, and appreciate you're watching and listening to two GIANT LEGENDS .. Willie and Merle ... RESPECT !!!!
We love you man, this made me almost cry, just know us young people still listen to you're tunes. We will never going to forget about ya man, we will miss you to man😥
I just love this just as I love Willie..R.I.P Merl country music definitely going to pot wiillies got a spot on.. ( take it which way you want ) no I do not partake but I love what Willie stands for and his rights...great duet and love you Willie all the way from South Wales..
Watching these old Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard videos is giving me optimistic perspective for the future. There’s a lot of us seniors out here who’ve smoked pot for 50-60 years behind closed doors because our livelihoods demanded it. As far as I can tell, we seem to be the ones still enjoying life and not taking current political situation and Covid crisis so seriously that we’re paranoid and filled with hate.
I lived a completely different reality hearing this brought my grandpa back and my family all together because we would so jam to this. Thank you for keeping hits on the country radio throughout all these years Willie!!!
I'm so glad to see so many recent comments here. You are all my type of people. I saw Merle about a year before he passed. He lived about an hour away on a ranch. I cried like a baby when he sang *"my favorite memory"* Man did these guys see the bullsh!t coming years down the way. Merle would be appalled at the state of things now SMH 😭
Would have loved to be in the studio when they were recording this. Two of the greatest country music singer's of all TIME. And song writer's too 😎😎😎🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
Love this song - my other favorite is “ Still not dead ” I have a lot of favorites sung by Willie Nelson - too many to list here - greatest country singer ever 😊👍💕💕
freeDUMB's a LIE yeah u know it , see I'm a massive fan of hank jr I think his coming up 68 but he doesn't really do country music anymore , hope wille holds out a few more years 👍👍👍
freeDUMB's a LIE i lov hank jrs music his my favourite singer ,but but from year 2000 not so keen but hank 3 is the double of hank Sr , who's gonna fill there shoes
+Chandler Frazier Hey! That RHYMES real well. Who knows? MAYBE Willie will even work it into his NEXT rendition of the tune. Think e.g. Following the "... caught her making eyes at Merle." bit : #2 "Now that he's gone, played his last great song, we're sure gonna miss him a lot."

There's 2 cool-ass dudes right there!!. They don't make'em like that no more. RIP Merl.
Pancho and Lefty song and video is sure a classic !
Merle died almost a year later. Rest in paradise legend.
Great man in all his years. Hopefully the pearly gates opened for Merle.
Hopefully he’s there with Johnny Cash.

I Loved Merle, R.I.P. 🙏💔😭🙏😭
Fucking legends
Two old dudes laying down a track better and more catchy than any 20 something’s could do in the pop world. This is what talent looks like. RIP Merle
You know it
2 absulute kings of music ,and none of this look at me crap
Absolutely! 🙂

Well said
Watching Merle and Willie pass the joint back and forth is what we needed. RIP Merle!
Can't believe they are passing a joint. But then again....

Having a smoke & listening to this for the first time and adding it to my personal smoking list.
Can't believe over a thousand buffoons have given this a thumbs down! Two icons like Willie and Merle smoking a j and ripping it up. Legendary!!! A thousand thumbs up!!
Must be the Karens 🤦🏻♀️
I totally agree with the "thumbs ups" here! The negative responses deserve no reaction at all!
To those that give this song thumbs down I support an individual's right to be wrong.
Not only that probably can't play one note, but can note to the world How goofy is thy!
Don’t worry I used to know a guy that would thumbs down every video without watching them they are just idiots
I love how Merle sings the song. He seems so happy making the video. a true legend. RIP to the great Merle Haggard.
@Zenex Ducky I so agree. R.I.P. Merle Haggard. He was one of the best.
@@jasoncarpp7742 amen. I agree ,

Ist IS so amaising.
I believe this was the last song Merle recorded, he died shortly after on his birthday
Willie you need too make an appearance in Canada more often, so does merle .like everyone grew up listening too you folks back in the 80 s. Come one on back, ,
Even in their old age, still 1000x better than any country singers on the radio today

For a man who turned his life around, going from prison to being a country superstar - truly someone to look to....WE'LL ALL MISS YOU - RIP
I would love it to have Merle still around to watch these old friends laughing like this again. Both great artists.
