I did not know that Marty Robbins had ever sung this song. I grew up with the Jim Reeves version and always loved it. Marty did a wonderful job with the song as he did on everything that he sang. I am glad that you posted it here.

This is the first time I've heard all the words to old number nine. I've heard the song all my life but there were some missing lyrics. Thank you so much. Marty sounded like he would have been alot of fun to hang out with.

He expects his fiancee to stay true till she dies? What a selfish bastard.

My Lord ... what a voice!
i am a big fan of jim reeves and love his version of this, but hey come on, isnt this truly great also? And you will be amazed to know that Jim was a big fan of Marty's , so he probably heard this version first anyway! Thank you so much for posting this Tarquin.

I love Jim's version and would argue that his version tops Marty's because he had the RCA session men accompanying him on his cut whereas Marty was just accompanying himself on guitar. I think Jim would have heard a version of the song long before Marty's as it probably dates from the 20's or 30's and Vernon Dalhart, but I'm not sure.
