Marty Robbins Sings South Of The Border

[clyde21641]

I was so lucky enough to see this man preform many years ago in Abilene, Tx. He was a great performer.

[totalsextacy]

What a beautiful song. I only wish I was alive when Mr. Robbins was still playing music!

[BBQFanNo1]

The verse was omitted by the politically correct idiots. Everything is so GD politically correct in the world today.

[BBQFanNo1]

I bought the album of this song when it came out in early 1973.

[dercarsus]

Love this oldie

[TheShooter1946]

I saw Marty Robbins at Riverside Ballroom in Phoenix in 1974. Maybe the best show I've ever seen. He was really funny and the singing was wonderful.

[felixbautista]

Wonderful rendition of a great nostalgic song... thank you for uploading.

A nun gives her life an service, married to the God of her understanding, Pappyj

[paulinus43ad]

Its Martys music ,beautiful,,,,

[guambetty]

I like it,but I wonder did anyone else notice he didn`sing the second verse of the song? It goes" She was a picture in old Spanish lace, and for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face, for it was fiesta, and we were so gay,south of the border down Mexico way. I enjoyed it tho`--thanks for sharing!

[candw87]

@guambetty I think he didn't like the word GAY

[hammerogod]

Call it Excellent Genetics or Cosmic Serendipity, some people were simply born to sing

... Marty most certainly was ... Marty could sing Webster's Dictionary and make it sound wonderful.

[clarebannerman]

Written by an Irish man Jimmy Kennedy.....other hits were "Red Sails in the Sunset "and "Isle of Capri"

[barrygioportmorien1]

The great Marty, what else ithere to say.

[grannydyess]

lovely song as always.

[liamthedream]

This song was first made famous back in 1940 by Gene Autry, then all the Heavy hitters made a recording of it....Roy Rogers, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Patsy Cline, Perry Como and the klist goes on.

[felixbautista]

wonderful melody taking me down memory lane. Thanks for uploading it.

[Perfidiame]

That was when "gay" meant "happy"

He went back and saw her kneeling in front of the altar.

She became a nun, this is why the misson bell told him that "he mustn't stay.

This is a song about love, morals, longing, deceit and repentance, something totally lost in todays society

[joj4joj]

@Perfidiame - Is'nt 'veil of white' = bride? By the time he came back - it was her marriage day and the wedding bells.

[Perfidiame]

@joj4joj Nuns, when they took their final vow wore white. It says that she knelt to pray, no mention of anyone being with her. This is how I understand it.

[hammerogod]

@Perfidiame

Yes...that is the story I hear also.

She became a Nun.



[paulinus43ad]

@Perfidiame could not have put it better my self,,,,,,,,,

[Perfidiame]

South of the border down Mexico way that's where we fell in love when stars above came out to play South of the border, down Mexico way. She was a picture in old Spanish lace, and for a tender while I kissed a smile upon her face For it was fiesta and we were so gay South of the border, down Mexico way. .

[liamthedream]

Written by an Englishman....Since when was Kennedy an English Name???

[candw87]

Many- many moons ago -it's a very old original English name Taken over to America

[liamthedream]

@candw87 Kennedy is an ancient Irish Name. It's as Irish as Paddy's Pig.

[candw87]

We're both wrong -look up Clan Kennedy on Wikipedia- It originated in Scotland

Ależ piękny głos!Cieszę się,że natrafiłam w youtube na Marty Robbinsa,chociaż wydaje mi się,że Adios Amigo już słyszałam kiedyś w radio,bo znam melodię tej piosenki(cudowna).

[Georgewos]

Hard to believe this song was written by an Englishman Jimmy Kennedy. I love Gene Autrys version.

[geena6]

Oh Marty was one of the best. A lovely song.

Thankyou Peter for the send.

[tomtesticle]

She was a picture

in old Spanish lace As, for a tender while

I kissed the smile

upon her face

But, the mission bells told me

That I must not stay South of the border

Down Mexico way.

[Brownee46]

THANK you for this....... Whenever I get down, I just tell people that I I am still depressed over Marty's death. Love

[tarquin45]
