Wannananalolodododo... "Robert... It goes down" It don't go down. "It do go down!!!" Awesome, great song 👍 Well then, stay healthy for all of us & Safety First folks! ✌😉
@@thelonehussar6101 That’s not true. California still has plenty of great, fun and safe places. Yes, the politicians and criminals have become more corrupt in recent years and people vote way too far left for my taste, but in spite of that it’s overall a relaxed, good place. You have to be aware of and avoid the bad areas. There always have been unsafe areas. Try not to buy Into all the modern hype and sensationalism of the media. You don’t hear about the countless good things from those people but the few bad situations and places. Sensationalism draws viewers.
@@Jonandbrianshow He lived in California until he died which was only seven years ago. Most people who don’t reside in California don’t realize just how conservative many Californians are.

Also, in spite of some of his songs Merle was a little more liberal than most people are aware of.
+Rich Dudley Thank you for your kind reply, and (I know it's decades overdue) a very cordial Welcome Home. A bit about me: US Army Reserve, enlisted, tours in Iraq and Afghanistan (as far as my youth... I'm 44 years old:-) ). I first heard this song after I returned... and loved it.
KonradAdenauerJr When you are 68, you too will consider 44 young :) Thank you for the welcome home. I have striven these many years to make sure people respected military personnel, even if they disagreed with the military action being waged. I was an AF PJ who served 3 tours in Vietnam between '67 and '72 when I was medically retired. I came home to a country full of people that spit on me, pelted me with rotten vegetables and screamed vile obscenities at me. And I couldn't kill any of them! I have a ribbon rack in a shadow box with a tomato seed stuck smack dab in the middle of my Silver Star, almost like an attachment.
+Rich Dudley That's an interesting place for a tomato seed to land in. When I was in college in the early 1990s, I had this professor who had been opposed to the Vietnam War during her own college years, and who conceded that the antiwar protesters had made a huge mistake by treating returning vets the way you've described. When returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, I never experienced such a mean "reception."
@Twin Reverbs Are Loud I was in Iraq in 09. I don't know if its all true what you say, but I am proud of what I did over there. I do know for a fact that those people for the most part glad we had freed them. Unfortunately, they had been under a dictator that controlled every aspect of their lives for so long, they are not able to do for themselves. Hence, ISIS filled the void. What is funny, the democratic party is wanting to do the exact same thing to the American people that saddam did to his.
I think rings true of all the things America stands for.Like no more prayer in schools.on more pledging to the flag that others have fought to keep this country FREE--and if you want to burn our American Flag--forget it--go try that in another country and see where it gets you--Like Merle says IF YOU DONT LIKE IT LEAVE IT and I say don't let the door hit you in the BUTT when you leave.SO SCRAM.
Glenda Easley Well, I hate to be that guy on CZcams, but ehhhh, flag burning is protected free speech, and organized prayer in public schools is showing preference to either a particular religion or religion over none in general. Matter of fact, most Western countries protect flag burning. I believe it's a Nordic country that actually protects the right for people to burn their own flag in protest, but has a law against burning the flags of other countries. Seems fair to me! After all, it's the stifling of free speech that brought us here to America.
America love it or leave it. Let this be a warning, when you are running down my country man your on the fighting side of me. Man I miss those days. RIP my man I will always stand with you. Proud to be an American.
Merle, my Dad and me! We sang all of his songs sittin on the back porch, I was the record changer! So many memories, Dad was a Marine, the 3rd of 13 kids! He was my hero! Miss him so much!

This whole song is the absolute truth. I read another comment about this being more relevant now than back then. That is true. People saying that we’re just wasting time fighting. I suggest you listen to this and Darryl Worley’s Have You Forgotten.
This Amazing song written years ago Should be played all over The Great U.S.A and for Old Glory...Take That NFL...tell them Merle...U.S.A. U.S.A U.S.A...from your Canadian neighbor.
I missed the chance to see him just six months before he passed, in Helotes Texas,,,,,,my friend saw him and told me he was still rockin' and voice was pure country and the music absolutely fantastic! If he had not gotten so sick, he would still be out there today. Thank you Lord for giving that man his gift and giving him strength and courage to share with so many for so long!
Hello 👋Karen. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!
How could you leave out Johnny Cash and June Carter. Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells. Willie, Moe Bandy, Patsy Cline, Buck, Charley, Jeannie C., Jerry Lee, Emmy Lou, Crystal, Oakridge Boys, and a whole host of others.
I love this man. I love that he was strong enough to say what he meant at the end. I didn't care for Hillary, and voted against her. But i like that this guy had the balls to be for someone a lot of the people who liked his music were against, He believed what he believed. This was just a song he sang.

My theme song and my anthem. When you hear this song, then you know all you need to know about me and how I feel about our flag and our country. Run either down and "you're walking on the fightin side of me"!!!
I'm from England and know Okie from Muskogee, but learning more about old Hag. I can tell you one thing, he said what a lot of ordinary Americans thought and still do now with all the leftishness around. I wanted to serve my country when I was younger and was willing to serve six years in the RAF, but a medical issue stopped me.
you realize okie was a satire song right? he was poking fun at the archaic beliefs of simpleton small town conservatives. haggard supported Obama and hillary in the decade leading up to his death.
+Forrest Shields I'm sorry us small town simpleton are not as cultured as some other people like in New York, the state that gave us both Trump and Hillary. Them guys back there are far ahead of the curve it would seem.
So glad to see so many “it do go down” fans here Merle Haggards estate must have received such a boost from the fans of that video… bet the accountants were like “it do go up”

Robert brought me here. Awesome song!
was a kid when this song was on the radio. liked it then. in 2024 it resonates even more.
The GOAT Country artist! Conceived, born, raised, lived, died and buried in the great state of CALIFORNIA. Haters, don’t forget it.
California ain’t what it used to be at all
@@thelonehussar6101 That’s not true. California still has plenty of great, fun and safe places. Yes, the politicians and criminals have become more corrupt in recent years and people vote way too far left for my taste, but in spite of that it’s overall a relaxed, good place. You have to be aware of and avoid the bad areas. There always have been unsafe areas.
Try not to buy Into all the modern hype and sensationalism of the media. You don’t hear about the countless good things from those people but the few bad situations and places. Sensationalism draws viewers.
He was wayyyy too conservative for modern California. The South would proudly claim him though I'm sure.
@@Jonandbrianshow He lived in California until he died which was only seven years ago. Most people who don’t reside in California don’t realize just how conservative many Californians are. Publicity is always given to the most populated liberal cities like L.A., aS.F Bay Area and places like that.
Also, in spite of some of his songs Merle was a little more liberal than most people are aware of.
You got that right!!
POV: you and your friend going fishing on the river and realized that the river does go down
One of the most patriotic songs ever. Okies do love America (most of us anyway). 🇺🇸
Guess you're a good country MUSIC lover?
Gonna sing this at a river
President Donald Trump should use this song for his campaign.
This has just become my new Anthem.
"It do go down" 🌉
Saw that video again.. so here i am.. because it still does go down.
🇬🇧 This is a fantastic song by a great artist, we in Britain should make it our national anthem. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Or you should move to America?
😂😂😂😂

it goes down
I'm here cause Robert said it don't go down.
From an Irish woman , what a great song , love you Merle xx
Ahhh.... the sacrificial song
Legends tell us it do go down
It do go down!!
one of the GREATEST MEN ever
Robert... It goes DOWN!!!!
This song is just as relevant today as it was then.
This was my song of songs when I got back from my 2nd tour in Nam. R.I.P. Hag, you will always be fondly remembered!

Rest In Peace Mr Merle Haggard. We Will fight hear in Ireland to Keep your memory alive
"IT DO GO DOWN"
"It don't- it don't go down"
IT DON'T.
IT DON'T GO DOWN.
I think the lyrics to this song are maybe even more relevant today than back then.
I think so too, the message of this song resounds esp these days .....
jerenita fagayan The message of this song is indeed more relevant today than it was back then.
