Advertisement Merle Haggard sadly died on this date in 2016 from complications due to pneumonia. The legendary singer-songwriter was also born on this date, April 6, 1939, in Oildale, California near Bakserfiled after his family, like many families in the Great Depression, relocated to California from Checotah, Oklahoma. In California, Merle’s father James Haggard worked for the Santa Fe Railroad and Merle literally grew up in a boxcar his father remodeled into a living space. The opening line of “Mama Tried,” “First thing I remember knowin’/Was that lonesome whistle blowin’” was probably a true statement. Merle’s working class upbringing gave him deep insight into the plight of working folks, something that he would highlight to great effect in his writing.
