Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard singing Merle's song "Sing Me Back Home". This aired on August 2nd, 1969.
(Merle Haggard was an inmate at San Quentin prison and was in the audience when Johnny Cash played his first prison concert there in 1958. Watching that show was one of the things that inspired Merle to pursue a music career when he was released from prison)

(Merle Haggard)
If we make it through December
Everything's gonna be alright I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow
If we make it through December
Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
Maybe even California
If we make it through December we'll be fine
Got laid off down at the factory
And their timing's not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I've been working hard
Wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl
I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here
If we make it through December...

ARE THE GOOD TIMES REALLY OVER (I WISH A BUCK WAS STILL SILVER)
(Merle Haggard)
I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis
And before the Viet Nam war came along
Before the Beatles and Yesterday
When a man could still work and still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good
And are we rolling downhill
Like a snowball headed for hell
With no kinda chance for the flag
Or the Liberty Bell
I wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good
I wish coke was still cola
And a joint was a bad place to be
And it was back before Nixon
Lied to us all on T.V.
Before microwave ovens
When a girl could still cook and still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now
Are the good times really over for good
Stop rolling downhill
Like a snowball headed for hell
Stand up for the flag
And let's all ring the Liberty Bell
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
That'll still last ten years like they should
'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for good
