Pancho and Left-Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard-1983-#1

Nelson recorded this song as Haggard napped.Willie and his usual guitarist,Grady Martin,both found the guitar part too tricky.Haggard was then roused at 4:00a.m. to do the last verse;he sang along to Willie's vocals because he thought there were too many words for him to remember.
