Marty Robbins Singing Cigarettes And Coffee Blues

[helenmartyfan]

Marty wrote this song from remembering how his mom would sit and drink coffee and smoke after his dad left. Like most of his songs he wrote, so much truth in them....I like the story behind MAN WALKS AMONG US. This great talent could write a heartwarming song just from seeing someone throw a chewing gum wrapper down. He had talent and knew what to do with it.

Marty Robbins wrote this song in 1953. When he sang this song live in this particular recording, he actually changed the words to sync with the way that Lefty had recorded in 1958.

Great song by marty, but this is not the best version of his, the recording is tops.

He always looked so healthy but he had the heart problems for years. He was a great talent.

[Featureman]

I am not sure if it was a heart attack or heart failure. He drove race cars but did not die in an accident.

@marge3931 No, it was a heart attack. He had suffered heart problems for many years, but kept right on performing. He finally had to give up racing cars a few years before he died because of his health.

I heard this wonderful song for the first time from Lefty Frizzell. And i knew this Great song composed by Marty Robbins.

[barrygioportmorien1]

I have both versions and both are fantastic.

How's this for a Marty joke?

A guy stops at a grocery store carrying a gas can and asks the old feller behind the counter "How far to the nearest gas station?"

The old man replies "3/4 of a mile as the crow flies."

The guy replies "Well how far would it be if the crow was walking and carrying a gas can?"
