Montego Bay Lyrics

Artist: Merle Haggard
Album: A Portrait of Merle Haggard

MONTEGO BAY
(Hank Cochran - Glenn Martin)
Â« Â© '69 Tree Publishing, BMI Â»

I showed her most of Tennessee that's all I could afford
I even thought of stealing so I could show her more
But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Oh I should have gone with her at least I wouldn't know
What about Montego Bay that makes it pull so strong
All I've got's old mem'ries of the way she used to say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Why couldn't I convince her why couldn't I make her see
There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me
When she left she seemed so happy I can still hear her say
Hey I like it here but I love Montego Bay
Why couldn't I convince her...

GREAT SONG BY A GREAT SINGER OF SONGS. MERLE HAGGARD SAID THE DAY GEORGE JONES PASED AWAY. THAT GEORGE WAS THE GREATEST COUNTRY SIGER, AND I AGREE. NOW THAT GEORGE IS GONE. I THINK MERLE IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY-WESTERN SINGER EVER. I THOUGHT MERLE WROTE THIS BUT HE DIDNT.
