Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low in darkness as black as the sea
In my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day from here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand where no one stands alone
[ piano ]
Like a king I may live in a palace so fine with great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world that's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way...
Merle Ronald Haggard (1937-2016) was one of the most influential singer-songwriters in American country music. Born in Bakersfield, California, Haggard began his musical career in the 1950s, influenced by artists like Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. In 1966, with his album "Sing Me Back Home", he achieved national success, solidifying his traditional country style with a touch of rockabilly and folk.
