Just Marty from the 50's and his guitar on this old classic. This was recorded around the time he was about to burst on the scene in the States with a long run of cross-over hits.

  • 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.

  • Thanks Alan and oldtexascountry for your help.

  • 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.

  • my mum sung me this song when I was 10. She was taught by missionary teachers back in the 70s. Now I am 26. Its the first time I have listened to this song in digital. Awesome!!!

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