Love how Willy stayed in the background and let Merle and Toby have that special moment together Great memory Rip Toby You and Merle are singing together again 😢
This one has hit me harder than any death ever has when it was somebody i had never met. I'm an Okie and it's just not the same around here with him gone. I really can't explain it. Only good thing about it is the local stations have been playing a lot more Toby than usual. Rip big guy!
@@boblozaintherealworld3577up until the last few weeks i really thought he was going to be ok. Even knowing for years that he was aick, it still just shocked me when i woke up and found out.
My father was a Merle fan, as a kid would play Merle's Records for him as he sat on the back porch drinking a beer! I always sat and sang with him! I miss my Dad!
66 years old love that music. It's all gone by the wind now. Still listen to it constantly when I can no good music now. Country Western has gone downhill. God bless all the old country-and-western singers.
Merle is like a fine wine, he's sounding even better as he gets older! Incredible. And great job by Toby Keith on the high harmony. I'll never understand why this kind of old school country doesn't get any airplay anymore.
Boy, ill tell you what , those high notes that toby was hitting behind merle were golden. It's sad to know weve only a few legends left now. But blessed to have shared in their music 🎶
Carrying a very heavy and devastated heart for Tobby and his family. Definitely gone too soon. His death has left a lasting emptiness in the hearts of country music fans ❤❤
This was awesome. Toby rest in peace. You're with the angels and we can still hear you sing. God be with you and your family. You fault a hard battle but you won your wings in heaven
I am so sad and heartbroken over the passing of *Toby Keith* . I wish I had gotten to see *The Oklahoma Cowboy* in concert but never made the time to. *Rest in Peace Toby* *It's not Goodbye* , *but see ya on the other side* *We all Miss You and Love You* .
Merle Haggard will always be missed he was a top of the top country singer country songwriter Toby Keith we can you say more about him he became a a leader of all the country music stars I believe more Toby Keith will become the biggest star in country music just like Merle Haggard George Strait and so many others before before him thank God the Toby Keith
A classic song with classic singers! I sure miss you Toby! Merle was a bit older for me to follow. Saw TK 3 times in Kansas-once on the 2nd row before the stage. Awesome!!
What can you say... merle he's country personified and to watch Toby with him he is a younger if not slightly higher pitched version or Meryle but with the same feeling for the song... truly a fantastic video. Meryle ...god bless god keep from Scotland
Hello ... Good day very good singer my no. 1 fevorite country song Merly hagard as for me he's still alive and I always watching thanks sir Merly hagard...
01:23 - That's live music at its best. I bet only a few people watching this live noticed that, and those who did probably thought "Ah, that's professional musicians keeping the song rolling" - and it turned out beautiful. Wonderful performance to see...
Toby Keith can make anything a hit. This is my favorite song from Haggard. Toby Keith kicked it up a notch. YES! Think Merle and Willie looked a lil' confused most of the time. That's what TIME does to ya :)
sefilm1111 Actually wasn't sure whether it was Merle in the 2nd and 3rd verse, Toby does a great job I actually like how he wobbles abit but Merle's still great, Toby has a very similar voice but he does an excellent job, people sayin he sucks isn't that fair, can't really hear Willie boy that much though.
I'm about to learn this song and sing it with my guitar. My poor southern Baptist Momma is going to lose her mind over it and though I don't ever care to go the way of this lifestyle, I do adore this song. HAA! Y'all pray for Momma - she's going to hit the roof when she hears me sing it the first time. Should be good for some seriously funny shock value.
Eevery time I see Willie with another artist here on you tube, he is always content to let the other guy shine... it doesn't always have to be about hi, He is a class guy.
… The first thing I remember knowing Was a lonesome whistle blowing And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride On a freight train leaving town Not knowing where I'm bound No one could change my mind, but mama tried … One and only rebel child From the family, meek and mild My mama seemed to know what lay in store Despite all my Sunday learning Towards the bad I kept on turning 'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore … And I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried … Dear old daddy, rest his soul Left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest Wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right but I refused … I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied Leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
WOW JUST FUCKING WOW!!! 3 GREATS!!! TOBY ACTUALLY HELP MERLE IN THE END TO FINISH UP A CONCERT SO HIS PEOPLE COULD GET PAID BEFORE HE DIED. RIP MERLE YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND!!
What has happened to the great country music genre. Some of the best songs written were Country. We have lost so many legends and no one has ever come close to filling their boots.
Nobody's a bigger Merle fan than me, but when Toby came along, I thought - "Wow, where did this guy come from?" Willie is no small shakes, himself! What a trio!
MERLE HAGGARD, TOBY KEITH, WILLIE NELSON - "MAMA TRIED" "MAMA TRIED", a song that made history and doesn't need to be introduced to country music lovers. As for the trio who performs it, they're all three performing the genre I adore: the outlaw country music. NO COPYRIGHTS INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.
Whoever wrote that third verse to "Friends in Low Places" for Garth needs to write a third verse for this one... This song literally just needs one more verse to really make it feel complete.
I can't honestly believe you think a someone who wrote for Garth belongs anywhere near this song. What an insult to actual music. Even Earl's other successful country song for George Strait isn't really that good.
I'm not really what one would call a fan of country music, but I can definitely appreciate a great ballad like this. I only have one problem with it though...it's too darn short! lol
Love how Willy stayed in the background and let Merle and Toby have that special moment together
Great memory
Rip Toby
You and Merle are singing together again 😢
R.I.P Toby you legend. Devastated.
my wife and I still just blown away.
Me too, hit me nearly as hard as loosing Merle. It was like we lost Merle all over again. RIP fellas
Requiescat in pace, Toby! Who would've thought that the oldest of these three gentlemen would live the longest!
This one has hit me harder than any death ever has when it was somebody i had never met. I'm an Okie and it's just not the same around here with him gone. I really can't explain it. Only good thing about it is the local stations have been playing a lot more Toby than usual. Rip big guy!

Rip Toby and Merle, true country legends. You were unapologetically real country, God bless
My father was a Merle fan, as a kid would play Merle's Records for him as he sat on the back porch drinking a beer! I always sat and sang with him! I miss my Dad!
Ditto, my Dad played Merle’s records while rocking in his rocking chair, smoking a Winston some of my first memories
❤
66 years old love that music. It's all gone by the wind now. Still listen to it constantly when I can no good music now. Country Western has gone downhill. God bless all the old country-and-western singers.
R.I.P Two Legends of Country Music Gone.
Merle is like a fine wine, he's sounding even better as he gets older! Incredible. And great job by Toby Keith on the high harmony. I'll never understand why this kind of old school country doesn't get any airplay anymore.
Never b replacef
The liberals couldn't stand it😂
Liberal moms try too.
You got that right, country music is not country music anymore.
Merle and Toby are jammin big time now with the angels
Rest in peace TK
Boy, ill tell you what , those high notes that toby was hitting behind merle were golden. It's sad to know weve only a few legends left now. But blessed to have shared in their music 🎶

The Hag , Country music's finest !!!
Rest in peace Toby and Merle
Possibly the best country song of all time… it’s for sure on the short list
You know Toby made it when he was singing with these legends!
This was awesome. Toby rest in peace. You're with the angels and we can still hear you sing. God be with you and your family. You fault a hard battle but you won your wings in heaven
I miss T. K... He and Merle 2 of my favorites.
Man was incredible my heart hurts for the loss wow he was amazing all around
We are so lucky to be able to view this Over and Over
Our Country Music will always live on ❤
These 3 singers together are fantastic! Love this!
❤❤ SO DARN AWESOME!
GREATESY AS USUAL! I COULD LISTEN TO THEM ALL DAY! THANK YOU TOBY AND MERLE! YOU'RE THE BEST! BP❤
This rock and roller could listen to this over and over the rest of my life.❤
I am so sad and heartbroken over the passing of *Toby Keith* . I wish I had gotten to see *The Oklahoma Cowboy* in concert but never made the time to.
*Rest in Peace Toby*
*It's not Goodbye* , *but see ya on the other side*
*We all Miss You and Love You* .
That was amazing! One of my favorite Merle Haggard songs with a little help from a friend! Fabulous!
I notice Merle gets more peppy when he's playing with friends
Merle Haggard will always be missed he was a top of the top country singer country songwriter Toby Keith we can you say more about him he became a a leader of all the country music stars I believe more Toby Keith will become the biggest star in country music just like Merle Haggard George Strait and so many others before before him thank God the Toby Keith
The song is the life story of Merle Haggard. In his passing away we have lost a great country singer. His music lives on.
Respect brotha

A classic song with classic singers! I sure miss you Toby! Merle was a bit older for me to follow. Saw TK 3 times in Kansas-once on the 2nd row before the stage. Awesome!!

My favorite Merle song
R.I.P. Toby and Merle
Toby vient malheureusement de rejoindre Merle, bien triste tout cela.... de grands nom de la country qui nous quittent....... RIP à tous les deux.
Never thought Willy would be the last guy standing. RIP Toby, Merle
Veľmi známa a populárna pieseň Merle Haggarda " Mama Tried". Zážitok počúvať túto pieseň. Skvelé!
RIP Merle hope you're singing beautifully with Marty up there
He is surely!
Absolutely amazing
Neskutočne im to spolu ladí. Skúsila mama. Úžasný zážitok počúvať túto pieseň. Super!
These are the Gods of Country Music.
What can you say... merle he's country personified and to watch Toby with him he is a younger if not slightly higher pitched version or Meryle but with the same feeling for the song... truly a fantastic video. Meryle ...god bless god keep from Scotland
tedford1970 .
Country music when it was still country
Country music doesn't exist anymore, we only have the old stuff. I can't bring myself to call that new stuff 'country'. It's crappy music.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
@@jura_rose - exactly.. i listen to this "real" country music and i wasn't even born when these hit the top of all the music charts
@@jura_rose well 9 years later, and I am thanking you and your days have been good for you.
Hello ... Good day very good singer my no. 1 fevorite country song Merly hagard as for me he's still alive and I always watching thanks sir Merly hagard...
Quanta armonia in questa performance...tre voci meravigliose..😊😍😍😘😘🎶🎸🎸🎸🎶💘💓💕💋💋💋💯💯💯🍀🌅
I was already old for this concert, but it was country gold!
This is what I like to imagine heaven looking like now🥲❤
I have one problem with this song... It's too short.
Yes it is
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic. Needs another verse or two and a guitar solo. Still brilliant though.
GD solos perhaps...
Agree
01:23 - That's live music at its best. I bet only a few people watching this live noticed that, and those who did probably thought "Ah, that's professional musicians keeping the song rolling" - and it turned out beautiful. Wonderful performance to see...
I notice Merle enjoys having his friends on stage with him.
Toby Keith can make anything a hit. This is my favorite song from Haggard. Toby Keith kicked it up a notch. YES! Think Merle and Willie looked a lil' confused most of the time. That's what TIME does to ya :)
Um ícone do country. Escuto esta música todos os dias!
Country Singers have the warmest voice in the history... My God...
merle like a BOSS. toby fills this one in very nicely, still telling the story.
sefilm1111 Actually wasn't sure whether it was Merle in the 2nd and 3rd verse, Toby does a great job I actually like how he wobbles abit but Merle's still great, Toby has a very similar voice but he does an excellent job, people sayin he sucks isn't that fair, can't really hear Willie boy that much though.
what a performance. Long live Merle, Instrument arrangement is Excellent
I love them standing there and playing their guitars with so much respect to the audience.
Excelente canción con tres de los más grandes del genero.
I'm about to learn this song and sing it with my guitar. My poor southern Baptist Momma is going to lose her mind over it and though I don't ever care to go the way of this lifestyle, I do adore this song. HAA! Y'all pray for Momma - she's going to hit the roof when she hears me sing it the first time. Should be good for some seriously funny shock value.
Is it that shocking though? Either way it's a fun song to play, you'll have a jolly time
Great tune to have in your pocket.
You try that yet? Sounds exciting!
Dudes you werethe best !
Well Toby and Willie, I have a pink Hoodie from my aunt. And it says Mama Tried in the memory of the Hag himself. R I p Merle.
Those guys was once my favorites and they still are going strong I hope.
Willie,Cash,Merle,Wylon revolutionized country music to the world!!! The outlaws!!
Wow that gives me chills. Still just a killer!
Merle Haggard is the best country singer there is, he's my idol.
Super show. Improvised very well.
This is one of the greatest collaborations ever! 🎶🍻💕
Abbiamo tre leggende,per una canzone molto bella!🥰😍😍😍😍💘💕💕💕💕💕💯💯💯
This is my favorite song they did together
Eevery time I see Willie with another artist here on you tube, he is always content to let the other guy shine... it doesn't always have to be about hi, He is a class guy.
God l love you guys Helen
Maybe the best two minutes in country history?
That bring me "Gänsehaut"... ;-) Great great - thank you for posting this!
Toby was great in his own right but I’m sure he was a bit awed playing with those two juggernauts of country. How could you not be.
When I heard this combo I had to grab my guitar and learn it. One of the best songs I play now...
… The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young gun's dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I'm bound
No one could change my mind, but mama tried
… One and only rebel child
From the family, meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
… And I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
… Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused
… I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
Leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
This is amazing and beautiful❤️
Two legends gone too soon
its still a damn good song.
Love the boys.
R.i.p Merle haggard I miss you and your songs
WOW JUST FUCKING WOW!!! 3 GREATS!!! TOBY ACTUALLY HELP MERLE IN THE END TO FINISH UP A CONCERT SO HIS PEOPLE COULD GET PAID BEFORE HE DIED. RIP MERLE YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND!!
What has happened to the great country music genre. Some of the best songs written were Country. We have lost so many legends and no one has ever come close to filling their boots.
Long live King Haggard
Nobody's a bigger Merle fan than me, but when Toby came along, I thought - "Wow, where did this guy come from?" Willie is no small shakes, himself! What a trio!
MERLE HAGGARD, TOBY KEITH, WILLIE NELSON - "MAMA TRIED"
"MAMA TRIED", a song that made history and doesn't need to be introduced to country music lovers. As for the trio who performs it, they're all three performing the genre I adore: the outlaw country music.
NO COPYRIGHTS INFRINGEMENT INTENDED.
The best country song ever made.
Whoever wrote that third verse to "Friends in Low Places" for Garth needs to write a third verse for this one... This song literally just needs one more verse to really make it feel complete.
I can't honestly believe you think a someone who wrote for Garth belongs anywhere near this song. What an insult to actual music. Even Earl's other successful country song for George Strait isn't really that good.
Such a great performance!!
I'm not really what one would call a fan of country music, but I can definitely appreciate a great ballad like this.
I only have one problem with it though...it's too darn short! lol
The Grateful Dead does a great version of the song.
Good Video I like all 3 guys. wonderful performers.
Goddamn I loved Merle... Almost makes me sad watching him sing
Im from Germany. When i hear this song i feel like a cowboy and want to the USA
me also...and i discovered song 10 days ago
Excellent. Love them both.
BEAUTIFUL ♥️♥️
I like that they perform at the same genre but they still have their own style in singing... A lot of today's singers just sound exactly the same.
megvettemawinrart R&B stands for "Retarded Bullcrap" (nevermind the "&")
County music is the real deal...
yes, you are so correct the singers today sound like crap!
This made me so happy
Very nice....like a passing of the torch...
Willie, Toby, and Mearle...Oh hell yeah!!!
Merle?
Fantastisch 😁💖💖
Bloody brilliant ! Love them together.
Love this. I was a bit afraid Toby would lose his chewing gum, though.
Hell yeah . God bless these men !!
Great ... thanks !
This is the most amazing thing
