Five Brothers - Marty Robbins

Thanks to Tarquin45 for the original material.

Lyrics:-

Five brothers who left Arkansas
Set out to find the gambler
Who murdered their pa
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans

They heard of him in Houston
And his trail was leadin' west
He'd left there many months ago
And so they couldn't rest
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
New Orleans

The sun was hot as fire
And the nights were cold as steel
Hate was strong and youth was wild
And so they couldn't feel
Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans

His trail led to the Badlands
And the desert promised death
The gambler's odds were different now
He treasured every breath
Five brothers and three in their teens
Close behind the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
New Orleans

When first they saw the killer
He was by the waterhole
Five rifles rang out through the night
They killed the gambler cold
Five brothers and three in their teens
Finally got the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans

The desert is their keeper now
For this a traveler said
That poison lived within the hole
Now six of them are dead
Five brothers and three in their teens
Lay beside the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
Lay beside the man
Who killed their pa in New Orleans

Send an email to one of the big games companies (Rockstar would be the most likely to do it) and see what happens.

I think the golden oldies are better than the modern stuff, and I'm in my early teens. Marty proves that in all of his songs. Thanx fur sharin'! 4 thumbs up!

[bigoutlaw1]

All you hear is Marty, back up singers and the guitar. No keyboards, no drum machines just pure talent! I dont see many "artists" doing that these days!!!!!

Marty Robbins is damn good at telling a story in his songs.

@Perciv89 Looks like I am not the only Israeli here...

[JennyMichaels]

@bigoutlaw1 Some of the newer "stars" take a pause in their concerts simply play their instruments with no special effects. Sitting on stage playing and singing. Many show pure talent doing that. Then they ruin it by going back to all the enhancements and ramping it up. Favorite memory.. Lori Morgan in a beige colored suit at a Maine fair on a tiny stage with a small band singing "Something In Red". Year later saw her with all the bells & whistles. Still saw her in Maine in my mind.

חמישה אחים שיצאו מארקנסס,מחפשים את הזר שירה באביהם.

חמישה אחים ושלושה מהם בני הנעורים, מחפשים את הזר שירה באביהם בניו אורלינס.

אז הם שמעו עליו ביוסטון ודרכו הייתה לכיוון מערב

אחד מהם אמר "אוי אביגזנוט הגב"

חמישה אחים ושלושה מהם בני הנעורים

יצאו לחפש את האיש אשר ירה באביהם בניו אורלין

The Glazer Bros composition, Grady Martin doing the fancy guitar lead on almost all of Marty's recordings, and this voice, and Marty painted the pictures in song.
