Marty gave this song to Lefty Frizzell who had a hit with it in 1958 and then Marty released his own 45 of it in 1963. If you listen to the 45 Marty sings it with his usual soulful sincerity while on this video clip Marty performs what is a sad song jauntilly!

  • 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?"

  • 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.

  • never knew they had a song like this.I guess probly one song for anything.

  • @tarquin45 that is funny.

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

  • regards to svinehunden from denmark.
