About

“The Bottle Let Me Down” by Merle Haggard was recorded as a single in June 1966 as a follow-up to “Swinging Doors”. Both did well and Haggard released the album, Swinging Doors later that year.

This is a great example of the Bakersfield Sound, with lots of emotion coming from Roy Nichols’s Telecast...

The Bottle Let Me Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

[Chorus]
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down

[Verse 2]
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

[Chorus]
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let me down
Tonight the bottle let me down
