I like him with moustache. Great song, great lyrics. Where did this kind of music go? Did it die? Did we kill it? Memories are all that is left, I guess.
i love country music but the doctors in tulsa are a differant thing i served with the 101st in vietnam and have seen men killed by rockets mortars and gunfire but the crulest thing i ever saw was bone by two doctors working in one of the largest hospitals in tulsa for more info please see [msbones1950 ]a slow death or a waiting grave
it's too bad that little men like simin says and republicans and other invading genocidal mother fuckers some how think they have earned the right to oppress. Im ashamed to be caucasion without being reminded of what so many have suffered because people like him didnt get much love as a child, and of course ignored their religion ect,ectect...........
Mr Simon....are you fucking retard or what!! , im american and what!! this is a great song and el Paso its a great city , so you coment its totally out of reason , go Fuc.....yourself ....racist..
@MrSimonGirty thats rich where do you think you got the country from .. it was stolen from the natives give it back and leave then you can take the moral high ground muppet
I am from Germany and had the opportunity to either go to Cincinnati, or El Paso. 'cause of M. R.'s song 'El Paso' I chose that city.
@joeasmythe dutch people loved the late Marty Robbins, as well as other country stars/music. Holland is a great small country, w. friendly, openminded people, a queen who is adored. U don't have to like their politics, ur not living there. They are a happy nation, and no this admin. won't copy them because one can't copy what one doesn't know anything about.
This song was always my favourite when a kid in Scotland. Then when I discovered my mother had family in El Paso it made me determined to visit - something I did back in the 90's & I still love El Paso both as a song & as a great city!
I am a bit surprised he sang this in Holland. They are so secular progressive there, I don't think they appreciate country-western. I hope our country doesn't end up like them, this administration id leading us down the socialist path. Solid American citizens can stop them..............
I say Marty in Germany shortly before he passed with other greats in country music including Roy Orbison . I knew Marty back in Phoenix when he had his own shown. His voice was one of a kind and he loved and enjoyed performing all his comical gestures were a part of his routine. He was one of a kind, I use to sing my son to sleep at night with El Paso because I ran out of lulabys he still laughs today and loves the song at 25 years of age. He says daddy the old song were the best. I agree.
Finished reading Cormac McCarthy"s "All the Pretty Horses" The lead character in the book, "John Grady Cole" reminded me of this song and Marty Robbins.
This is truely a great classic, I was rased on Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins got put in the mix somewhere so I love this song :)
(Quick Note, I am still a Teen and I love this Music, Whats with Rap? its takeing over in Teens. . . . . I cant be the Only that likes Oldys and classics can I?)
Hang on isn't the line " I see the white puff of smoke from a rifle, I feel a deep burning pain in my chest" in the wrong place ? shouldn't be straight after he says "off to my right i see a dozen or more" can anyone shed any light as to whther I am right or wrong.
np9np8np7: I think he gets hit twice. The first one hits him in the side, and he does not know he is hit until he feels the deep burning pain there. The second shot that hits him, the shot to his chest, does him in. I do not know if this answers your confusion about the placement of the lines or not.
This takes me so far back I am going to have to ask my mum how old I was when I first listened to this, (it was my uncles) it is briilaint. As usual it is a woman who causes the trouble, that wicked wicked Belina.
What a wonderful live version. When I was 10 I used to listen to this song and cry my eyes out at the thought of the gallant cowboy riding into sure death for once glimpse of his love. 38 years later and all I can say is please don't let this song by playing if I'm out in public.
Arguably,this classic is Marty's signature song, a song that in my mind is somewhere in the top 25 country and western songs of all time, and one further statement-this El Paso classic is the greatest cowboy song ever. Fleena( a long 8 or nine minute song by Marty tells the story in more detail. We used to gather Saturday nights in the good old Newfoundland short summer ,the boys would bring their guitars and their beer and do all these. Ah, the memories of the best days of my life.
It's Don Winters. I think Marty married Don's sister. See other videos of these(and bob sykes), all enjoying themselves. Don died in 2002(again, I think)
I love these marty robbins videos, can anyone tell me who the chap on the left is, he seems to be with marty a lot. they must have been good friends and by the look of the videos had lots of fun together.bod bless.
What a great song - I've heard it hundreds and hundreds of times and I'll never get sick of it. So nice to see video from when singers actually knew how to use microphones too :-)
Melegssore, I'm so glad you found Marty Robbins. He's such a treasure. There's great truth in his voice. I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying Marty Robbins. :)
thanks cookie for this thank you so much. it is great to see marty sing later in his life especially as this is my favourite marty song. his voice was incredible
Marty and Don Winters sang this song together countless times together, as well as with Bobby Sykes before he retired, and they still couldn't get through it without cracking each other up. Thanks so much for posting this video!
I like him with moustache. Great song, great lyrics. Where did this kind of music go? Did it die? Did we kill it? Memories are all that is left, I guess.

Mensen, ik heb altijd geloofd dat Felina was deels te

met de knappe jonge vreemdeling. Marty duidelijk gehandeld in
zelfverdediging, volgens ooggetuigen op Roses Cantina
die nacht. En Marty heeft dus niet verdienen om neergeschoten door
een burgerwacht bende. Het was gewoon verkeerd
