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
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
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* .
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 :)
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!!
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...
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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.
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 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
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.
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!!
I'm a big fan of Merle Haggard and Toby Keith. (No I'm not from Oklahoma) I love them because they are both unlikely success stories. Merle really did do time in jail, the odds were against him to ever turn his life as a felon around. And Toby Keith is a big old boy, he thought his future was in Football. Got drafted for the OU Sooners, that didn't work out, tried Arena Football, tried working in the oil fields, gave music a chance and finally had a hit in his 30s. Both, on paper, never had a chance. But their talent, songwriting, and perseverance, made them both undeniable. I really respect that drive and commitment.
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

Never b replacef
The liberals couldn't stand it😂
Liberal moms try too.
You got that right, country music is not country music anymore.
R.I.P Two Legends of Country Music Gone.
Merle and Toby are jammin big time now with the angels
Rest in peace TK

You know Toby made it when he was singing with these legends!
The Hag , Country music's finest !!!
Possibly the best country song of all time… it’s for sure on the short list
Rest in peace Toby and Merle
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.
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
We are so lucky to be able to view this Over and Over
Our Country Music will always live on ❤
Man was incredible my heart hurts for the loss wow he was amazing all around
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* .
Never thought Willy would be the last guy standing. RIP Toby, Merle
These 3 singers together are fantastic! Love this!
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
Well said partner!
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
❤❤ 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.❤
You will never ever be forgotten , you live on brighlyt in your music, that only you could create !
Merle is the king!!! Forever!!!!No question about it. Miss you Merle "the Hag" and Toby!!!
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.
Love their country music singers
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 :)

Toby vient malheureusement de rejoindre Merle, bien triste tout cela.... de grands nom de la country qui nous quittent....... RIP à tous les deux.
R.I.P. Toby and Merle
This is what I like to imagine heaven looking like now🥲❤
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...
RIP Merle hope you're singing beautifully with Marty up there
He is surely!
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.
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!
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
These are the Gods of Country Music.
Absolutely amazing
Quanta armonia in questa performance...tre voci meravigliose..😊😍😍😘😘🎶🎸🎸🎸🎶💘💓💕💋💋💋💯💯💯🍀🌅
Willie,Cash,Merle,Wylon revolutionized country music to the world!!! The outlaws!!
Country Singers have the warmest voice in the history... My God...
Merle Haggard is the best country singer there is, he's my idol.
Maybe the best two minutes in country history?
I always love this song.. These trio made it perfect.. Merl and Willie always make me teary eyed, respect..respect ..respect.... And Tobi my man!!!!
My favorite Merle song
When I heard this combo I had to grab my guitar and learn it. One of the best songs I play now...
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!
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.
I was already old for this concert, but it was country gold!
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 .
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.
This is one of the greatest collaborations ever! 🎶🍻💕
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.
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.
Veľmi známa a populárna pieseň Merle Haggarda " Mama Tried". Zážitok počúvať túto pieseň. Skvelé!

… 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
Dudes you werethe best !
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
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
Abbiamo tre leggende,per una canzone molto bella!🥰😍😍😍😍💘💕💕💕💕💕💯💯💯
Super show. Improvised very well.
Neskutočne im to spolu ladí. Skúsila mama. Úžasný zážitok počúvať túto pieseň. Super!
Those guys was once my favorites and they still are going strong I hope.
I love them standing there and playing their guitars with so much respect to the audience.
Long live King Haggard
Excelente canción con tres de los más grandes del genero.
Wow that gives me chills. Still just a killer!
The best country song ever made.
Love the boys.
Two legends gone too soon
God l love you guys Helen
Goddamn I loved Merle... Almost makes me sad watching him sing
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.
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!
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!!
Um ícone do country. Escuto esta música todos os dias!
R.i.p Merle haggard I miss you and your songs
its still a damn good song.
Such a great performance!!
This is amazing and beautiful❤️
Anything Willie does is good. And we all know Haggard is fantastic
Merle was like a fine wine only sung better with age

I just love Toby he can sing me a phone book. Remembered when he frist started out. #1 fan every scents. Christina Trent
My son got a tattoo in prison that says momma tried.

Excellent. Love them both.
BEAUTIFUL ♥️♥️
