(Bob Wills)
Well, let me tell you about a song that's just right to put ya'll in a good mood
It's the old Bob Willis number Bring It On Down To My House Honey
And if I can just hit on the fiddle it goes like this
One, two a one, two, three.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, bring it on down to my house honey there ain't nobody home but me
Bring it on down to my house honey I need your company
Aunt Claudy went to town to buy a new slip
Uncle John went fishin' on a three day trip
Bring it on down to my house honey ain't nobody home but me.
--- Instrumental ---
Billy Liebert
Well, bring it on down to my house honey there ain't nobody but me
Bring it on down to my house honey I need your company

Bring It On Down To My House Honey
Merle Haggard delivers a quintessential country ballad on this 1969 studio recording, capturing the raw emotional depth characteristic of his mid-career work. The track exemplifies Haggard's mastery of the honky-tonk and narrative storytelling styles that defined his legacy. Recorded during a prolific period that saw him explore diverse themes of heartbreak and resilience, the song reflects the polished yet authentic sound of his late 1960s output. Its enduring appeal lies in Haggard's ability to weave personal vulnerability into a broader musical tradition, making it a staple for fans of classic American country music.
