I've head this tune so many times, and yet, I can't honestly figure out if it's a love song or something else entirely. Great tune. Great story. Great singer all-around.
It just doesn't get any better than this. If I ever wrote a western song the only one I would have ever picked to sing it would be Marty. He was amazing.
Wow I grew up on Marty Robbins, and never heard this tune before. Marty was such a great song writer and could create a story line in each of his songs. He paints a very vivid picture in my imagination with each of his tunes...a Artist in every sense of the word, he was well before his time. Thank you so much for posting this tune........
My father named me after this song. :) Hated growing up being the only Feleena around. But now I treasure my name dearly. AND I have finally met another with the same name!
My kids can always tell when I'm cleaning my guns. They know I always listen to Marty Robbins cowboy songs when I clean my guns. I clean my ol' lever action rifles. This one of the songs I always listen to.
What a super song . I've loved Marty for years . So glad to have stumbled into this . Wish these songs were the music style of today . Country music just isn;t the same , as back in the 40's - 60's .
@ARKfusion ~ Im thinking he was totally immersed in Marty's story telling...I dont think he's thinking at all...I think hes totally plugged into the story ..without wanting to, Marty owns him...or at least until the song it over...now that is a master song writer/singer. Awesome.
Shit, this is beutifull. Never knew about this song not I have watched this song about 100 times. The song makes sense and amazing story and narration.
@drgonzosfear That when you KNOW a person has TALENT. And Mr Marty Robbins had truck loads of talent as a songwriter AND singer. When he pened a song or sang a song he took you there with him, , that s talent. That s Mr Marty Robbins
All the greats leave us too soon: Marty Robbins, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray, John Lennon... I could list a dozen. I have to imagine that a master band is forming in Heaven as part of our eternal joy. What a master story-teller. I love the alternative perspective this song offers of the "El Paso" song. Marty Robbins' voice melts in your ears as his stories melt in your heart, then he goes and sets it all on fire with his passion. I see 6 people have no soul. You dislike Marty? REALLY?
Marty Robbins is one of the best of the best! Any of us that were born back when the three best things in life were your horse (or car), your buddies, and your wife (or girl) in that order can agree that there were so many great singers and actors in the "old days" that have no peers today. If we could just get rid of the politicians, computers, all of the cell phones and what not we just might stand a chance. Anyone that says anything bad about Marty....well they just don't matter!
I apologize for the comment I made. I did not mean to be so ignorant about the horse, buddies and wife thing. It was meant to be funny but when I wrote it I must have been in a less than funny mood. I know you did not rip my head off for that comment so I just wanted to prefice my response with the apology then say that yes! it was a different world. Seems better now looking back.
Love this song, a follow up to another great song. The insight into the other side of the El Paso story is great. A similar song is Jimmy Dean's "The Cajun Queen", the follow up to "Big Bad John".
I attended a Marty Robbins concert back in the late 60's in Dover, NJ and have not seen or heard of a better performance by any other performer. What a voice and what a gracious man. He could litterally sing any type of song and sing it well. My wife and I had pictures taken with him when he came down to the audience after the performance to mingle with the attendees.Truly one of the GREATEST !!!!!!!
what can one say, that has not already been said? Marty Robbins was incredible on and off stage......... I am sorry for the negatives posted here by one who obviously just dont undertand, have seen many of todays "best" musicians live and up close, this performer died before I had the chance
It makes a huge difference when someone knows how to use a song to tell a story. I'm just getting to know marty robbins, but boy! can he tell a story!
what? you mop handle? do you have no clue that Marty Robbins sang in every genre of his day?...... you go off on me like the childish unspanked fool which I believe you are. Take a few minutes of your spoiled life, look at the multitude of different styles and scenes Mr. Robbins played music in. The man has been dead, over 20 years.. yet his music lives on. Come only a very few in each ten score of years, whom are blessed with the raw talent, less whom develop same... you owe apoology ShellTrek
I luv your songs Marty: Curious though...Were all your last girlfriends Mexican Sluts? Mexican Gals are HOT; but all the girls in your songs, don't appear too be very happy?
@kennethdagley Listen to the lyrics Lennie! Don't you be fooled too, by her sweet demeaner! "Are you familiar with the Black Widow Spider"? "Sirens"??
He truly was one of the last balladeers an art form that is dying in music,,, the way he ties the stoyline to from this song to El Paso ,,, I love his music ,,,
This Alabama girl was listening to this when she was just 8 or 9 years old. My daddy had all his albums and this music just took over my soul. I became Feleena! What memories......
Marty was my friend--I'd known him since I was five years old. NO ONE ever had his dynamic spirit, his talent, his love of life. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. But his music lives on, and in its glory, proves that we are diminishing in creativity. No one can fill his boots!
So, did Marty beat up everybody in the bar, toss'em all into the street, then sit down to sing this song? /// i always thought the cowboy in "El Paso" was having a death transition dream when he, (thought he), died in Faleena's arms. Now I know she was really there.
Are you kidding me!! If ANYONE doubts the greatness of Marty Robbins not only for his pure voice but also his sonwriting ability you could not grow a gorilla out of your ear as your head would be empty................... A true classic by the best male singer in country music history...............period!!!!!
Well we people that appreciate Marty Robbins' singing know he's great. I feel sorry for those people that won't open themselves to a different listening experience. I like many many different genre's of music. I don't get bored that way. I couldn't stand to just listen to a particular genre all the time. I can happily go from AC/DC to Frank Sinatra with no problem. Marty we lost you too soon buddy RIP thanks for the tunes.
In 1965 I crossed the Rio Grande by flashing a driver's license on either side of the border. Gals like "Feelena" graced the clubs and saloons of Nuevo Laredo, Jaurez,and Piedras Negras, from the Gulf to the Pacific. It's so sad that drugs, bigotry, gun violence, and all of today's horrors have made the days Marty sings about little more than a distant memory - a chance few again will ever experience. BUT DAMN IT, HE LIVED THEM, AND SO DID I! RIP, Marty, I'll see you one day at Papagayo's.
This song makes the songs El Paso and El Paso City make sense. Both songs refer to Feleena. Marty is one of the best story tellers that ever lived. I miss him and him performing.
@amateurphilosopher Why, when this was sung, people were different then they are now for the most aprt. It probably wasn't loaded, and if it was, you can bet the safety was on.
@amateurphilosopher Why, when this was sung, people were different then they are now for the most p art. It probably wasn't loaded, and if it was, you can bet the safety was on.
Brought tears for the umpteenth time. To me this is the very best of Marty ... the story teller, making it so real the hair stands up on your arms. The voice ... ah, what an instrument. Marty earned a permanent place in history.
This song reminds me of my own mexican maiden that I left behind when I came back home to Alabama. I've thought about her every day but soon I'm going back to hold her again. Marty is one of the few artists that can create such emotion and tell such a beautiful story.
R.I.P. Marty, thank you for the beautiful music, there's never going to be another like you.
@Odinsboy87 Hey brother, I am a half Mexican maiden who needed to be reminded that living, breathing guys actually do feel that way. Thanks for posting, man.
I have never heard this before, I was just in awe for 7mins & 58 seconds had to hear it again and again.
Must be the most cleaver story telling I have ever heard. Marty always knew how to tell them but this exceeds anything I have ever heard before. WOW. Love you Marty. RIP. What a legacy you left.
Not only is the song itself a riveting story, the setting for this video tells one too, with the set being a trashed saloon after closing, Marty's only audience being a forlorn looking barkeep listening intently to the song with a shotgun laying on the bar... That's just too kickass!
this is ridiculous, heard this song a hundred times growing up, and now hearing it again, just made me tear...i dont know if its for wonderful childhood memories -- forever missed -- or for my dad whom i miss very much and who tuned us into marty robbins from a very young age...maybe its both...
Man I always wondered in the end of El Paso if he actually died in Feleena's arms, or if it was just a final hallucination. I love western ballads, they rarely end happily though :c
This gentleman was far before my time, as I was only about eight years old when he died, but in all my thirty six years on this earth, I have never heard a man who was better at using music to tell emotionally gripping stories, and I doubt I ever will. God bless you, Marty, and thank you for the memories. We miss you.
I had turned 12 one week before Marty died. He was back then and still is now my all time favortie singer. You are so right nobody could sing the Story Song like Marty Robbins, a true Story Teller, he had the power to draw you into the song in much the same way John Jakes draws you into his stories.
NOBODY matches Marty, or any of the older country stars..I know I"m getting on in age, but country music has nobody like this anymore..and yeah, nobody today can touch this stuff..
I play marty robbins at work sometimes, and people look at me like I have a gorilla growing out of my ear. I feel bad for them that they don't appreciate this music
@GrampappyJoe same here i play marty cash and weylon. people say what is that noise? i reply simply its real music somthing you dont get to hear today.
I have a ton of his tapes at work. Every time I play him or anything similar, my co workers suggest things like... Tim Mc Graw, Travis Tritt, or ect ect. It's sad. If it's not on the radio- they won't hear it.
My all time favorite. I think that if radio stations that play modern C&W played this and El Paso once a day they would become smash hits all over again. Nothing they play today compares.
One man (with a big, big voice) and one little guitar...simply amazing! I challenge ANY artist today to tell a story the way Marty could, this simply...not going to happen...
@cyedrysek You said all that can be said about the legend we call Marty Robbins, today's singers are not stars, they are blips that soon fade never to be seen or heard agian, not this guy. One of the true artists that have passedfrom of and will never be replaced.
As a 14 year old girl, i am so glad my dad introduced this fine man to me at such a young age, I can now grow up appreciating Marty Robbins and his handsome voice.
I learned all the words to this song when I was 12, haven't stopped singing it since.
wow, I didn't know there's a sequel to El Paso!! this is the first time i heard this song...makes one understand what the song El Paso was all about and who was Feleena.
as a top fan of marty's there is nothing he could not sing. el paso is my ringtones on my cell and i love all his music. thanks for posting this and God bless all you marty fans who keep his legacy and music alive@
Weird, my name is Feleena and the hairs on my arms stand on end when I heard this song! My dad was a big Marty Robbins fan............the rest is history.
I think I'm in love with Feleena! I don't care if she's a fictional girl from a song, I love her! <3 <3 <3

this is what i like about Marty Robbins, he can put a story into a perfect song. I don't know anyone that can do that these days

We saw him in Houston not too long before he died, His El Paso triology stands right up there with Elvis' American Triology. What music!!!

this is ridiculous, heard this song a hundred times growing up, and now hearing it again, just made me tear...i dont know if its for wonderful childhood memories -- forever missed -- or for my dad whom i miss very much and who tuned us into marty robbins from a very young age...maybe its both...

His voice is just so haunting and the songs all have a story. This prequel to El Paso is fantastic. Pity it wasnt more well known.

Man I always wondered in the end of El Paso if he actually died in Feleena's arms, or if it was just a final hallucination. I love western ballads, they rarely end happily though :c

This gentleman was far before my time, as I was only about eight years old when he died, but in all my thirty six years on this earth, I have never heard a man who was better at using music to tell emotionally gripping stories, and I doubt I ever will. God bless you, Marty, and thank you for the memories. We miss you.

I had turned 12 one week before Marty died. He was back then and still is now my all time favortie singer. You are so right nobody could sing the Story Song like Marty Robbins, a true Story Teller, he had the power to draw you into the song in much the same way John Jakes draws you into his stories.

woah.... this is some pretty avant-garde camera work for a country show.
Of course, who cares about minor details like that when you have the GREATest
country singer EVER crooning away....DANG, he was good.

Tears,

What a voice. What projection, It seems that he just opens his mouth and the words tumble out. So cool so fresh so easy to listen to

I have a ton of his tapes at work. Every time I play him or anything similar, my co workers suggest things like... Tim Mc Graw, Travis Tritt, or ect ect. It's sad. If it's not on the radio- they won't hear it.

Don't be ashamed of playing Marty Robbins at work. In this video you have all you need Marty's voice and a guitar....pure perfection here.
Never be ashamed to play Marty I am 40 and he is my favorite singer and has been since I got his Number One Cowboy record when I was 10.

My all time favorite. I think that if radio stations that play modern C&W played this and El Paso once a day they would become smash hits all over again. Nothing they play today compares.

@cyedrysek You said all that can be said about the legend we call Marty Robbins, today's singers are not stars, they are blips that soon fade never to be seen or heard agian, not this guy. One of the true artists that have passedfrom of and will never be replaced.

As a 14 year old girl, i am so glad my dad introduced this fine man to me at such a young age, I can now grow up appreciating Marty Robbins and his handsome voice.
I learned all the words to this song when I was 12, haven't stopped singing it since.
