@WangZuXing - go wash your brain. This is the story of a hero giving his life for a young woman.

THE BEST BOYS

[Stuart1267]

I hope to meet Marty Robbins at "the roundup far away"

[lnsmdove07]

I think we were all introduced to Marty by our Dads. I know I was. I especially loved the cowboy ballads. If y'all aren't already familiar with Don Edwards, you should give him a listen. Alot of similarities in style and sound between him and Marty. In fact one of Dons albums was my last gift to my Dad.

[TheStagDrinker]

Thats crazy! my dad introduced MEto Marty with this very album... I sing all these songs to myself every day at work! Utah Carol was always my fav!

[Thecavin11]

Every who was introduced to Marty Robbins was introduced by their dads, cuz my dad introduced me and my bro to his songs

[TheGalacticGrappler]

@Thecavin11 AMEN! My dad never played this particular song, but my dad passed away 5 years ago and I tear up every time I hear this gem.

[chassebeth]

@Thecavin11 yep. both my husband's father and my father introduced us to the great storyteller Marty Robbins. Rest in Peace Marty!! None can fill your shoes...

[1939model]

@chassebeth That's the truth.

[txgrandpa55]

mother used to sing this song to our familey in the thirties and forties my sister Lenora was named after this song

[scottishwar4]

[ToTHogATha]

Wouldn't trust no other on the frontier!

[Kalimotxocolin]

I spent many a happy hour in the early sixties listening to Gunfighter Ballads on a red and cream Dansete player. Fantastic! lovely memories of my dad and still a great song Thanks for posting it!

[maverick1976615]

My Father also introduced me to Marty Robbins. Wow am I thankful he did. He was absolutely amazing. RIP Dad and Marty

[grannydyess]

a great western ballad. always marty is at his best.

[KonTaBaiDushi]

Anyone ever heard the Cartwright Brothers version of this? It is from the 20's or 30's, I think.

[grannydyess]

a great ballad by the finest of western singers and my favorite always

[KodeBloo]

His Gunfighter Ballad album is arguably one of the best country western albums ever recorded.

Every song on it is excellent. Americana in song.

[tinytim57]

i get chills every time i hear this song

[KonTaBaiDushi]

@tinytim57

Me too.

[2423mario]

truly a talented artist, could use a few more like him now,

[xomgxitsxmex]

[bikerDude466]

Marty is one of the best singers if every heard i sure miss his songs rip my we will always miss you

[zocern]

[zaaritha]

One more great recording of Marty R.

[365cliff]

This song and Master's Call are my favorite Marty Robbins song's.

[this0033]

I bought my first Marty Robbins album when I was 18. He became my favourite, and the album was 'Just A LIttle Sentimental.' That was 47 years ago, and he's still my favourite even though he has sadly left us. I consider him the greatest singer/songwriter ever, there will never be another. Thanks for posting this.

[xXLaDi3KiLlEr7Xx]

great song its got alot of feeling

[Ramulac019]

oh this song reminds me of my friend that died last year...RIP walker...

[FiveCardChauncy]

very good song and great singer

[spsc1]

Thanks for posting this song, it's one of my (many) favorites!!  So sad and beautiful.

[grannydyess]

thanks for sharing this. one of marty's best

[grannydyess]

a sad cowboy song but sung so wel by the greatest of cowboy singers.

[dls99]

aww my Grandfather used to sing this to me when i was very little. He dearly loved Marty's music.

[NiteClerk]

Is he singing "What makes me as sad a stew?" Why is stew sad? I like stew. Just go easy on the potatos.

[fubeubf]

sad and still -_-

[Dwotal]

Sad and still not sad stew.

[rimrider1818]

The lyrics are, "...sad and STILL....."

[don417]

at least he was thoughful enough to provide a steer for a barbecue.

[Dogote82]

now that's looking on the bright side of things lol!

[ThePaleHorseman5]

@don417 ...you do know that normally if you drop /stop the lead steer, it will stop the stampede. So I'd say BBQ was not on his mind at the time.

[Dogote82]

there's no "artist" today that could match this classic. no one sings songs like these anymore... if they do then the radio stations wouldnt play them.

[lvcivs11]

amen dogote82 its not the western feel that gets me though its good but no artist tells a story paints a picture like this anymore uatah carol could be borchu ghengis kahns trusted friend from their first raid this song is excellent and im generally a metal guy but this is beatiful a great story buy a great singer

[Dogote82]

thats what i'm saying :D i like a song that can tell me a story and hold my interest. music today is just background noise.... nothing really worth paying attention to as far as lyrics go.

[ozzietuft]

"His six gun flashed like lightning, the report rang loud and clear" Vivid and poetic. A true western legend!

[TheRatter17]

great great song

[ceejaelovescats]

Great artist; great song! Thanks for posting! :-)

[Wearableputty]

this guy is badass.

*if your 555 THEN IM 666*

[grannydyess]

[sherry196048]

my has told me this story and how it came to be in words

[grannydyess]

could you tell me where this story cam from that utah carol originated from

[don417]

it's a song, you doorknob.

[ThePaleHorseman5]

It's not a song you dingleberry, its a ballad.

:)

[don417]

Ballads are songs, you jizzstain.

[ThePaleHorseman5]

No.  Ballads are lyrical stories, you fartknocker.

[acjpb]

Its a interpretation of a ballad within song form. So sush. Both happy?

[ThePaleHorseman5]

Well, I sent Don a friend request, but he never responded. lol

I hope he didnt take me too seriously. :)

[Clavier35]

Again a great preformance from one of my favourite country singer
