“Mama Tried” #1 Country 9/7/1968

A signature song from Merle Haggard was in the middle of a four-week run at #1 on the country charts this week in 1968. It was a semi-autobiographical tune Merle wrote about the anguish he caused his mom by getting in trouble and landing in San Quentin prison for several years. This became Hag’s fifth chart-topper.
