My dad passed during the first wave of corona in Spain. It hit us hard. There was no funeral, nor we could not see the body. No people in the cementery. I humbled this song as I walked behind his closed casket as it was his favourite song. Miss you dad

This was my grandfathers favorite song ever. He passed away 3 days ago and I came to hear his song again.

I was 12, and living in childrens homes and foster families. I lost my parents at a vewry young age. I have seen hell a lot. Now, I am 65 and looking at my wandering star every night. I wish everyone a star of their own.

This song really speaks to me. I don’t know why. I don’t even like travel. But ever now and get this unassailable wanderlust.

Lee Marvin was a genuine war hero. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was wounded in 1945 during the battle of Saipan. He was awarded a Purple Heart. Semper Fi Marine. Rest in Peace.

At the age of 71, I came back to Scotland from Canada. Just in case Anyone cares. This is my song. An Old Commando. Cheers

Yes this song my dad requested this for his funeral back in April 2017.. he passed day after my birthday r.i.p.my lovely dad and a very nice song in deed very spiritual .

Una delle più belle canzoni ❤

I sang this to my brother as he was passing away he loved this song and I had it played at his funeral and I weep for him : God bless you Lee for this song 🌟

"Papa, why are there jokes about Chuck Norris, but none about Lee Marvin?" *gravelly voice, and knocks back some whiskey* "Because Lee Marvin ain't no joke, son"

My Dad hated musicals with the exception of this one. He died aged 84 on 3rd June 2020 and we played this at the graveside as the mourners arrived. The line "Heaven is goodbye forever it's time for me to go" is so moving.

Awesome movie, timeless song. I'm 70 and still wanderin'

My dad took me to see this film when I was 5 years old. I drove everyone mad singing ‘ wandering star for months and months. I wish I could go back to that 5 year old little girl again. No worries and at peace.

The common criticism is that Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood couldn't sing. In the traditional sense they couldn't but for this movie and the songs they sang they were perfect. Too bad so many didn't get it.

This song speaks to the soul. We are all wanderers. Love you Lee Marvin.

They just don't make em like Lee Marvin anymore!! A man worth his salt, a WWII hero, a man with integrity, ruggedness, handsome, but most of all, a REAL man!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ R I P Lee Marvin

What an amazing man. Served as a marine in the Pacific in WW2, he personally participated in 21 offensive beach landings. He is rightly buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington.

I've had this song in my head for the last 46 years

Tough guy Lee Marvin can actually sing, such a strong virile voice !

This makes my eyes water. Those who were around back then will remember these were the best years, never to be the same again.

fond memories here...I was on the set in 1969 in Baker, Oregon.---I was about 50 feet away when Lee Marvin sang this song---saw clint eastwood too.

Even though Lee Marvin was not a natural singer, he sang this song with a world weariness and sadness that few could capture, and that Ben Rumson knew only all too well.

My Grandfather passed away last week and I found out this is going to be the walking out song at his funeral in April. Decided to listen to it on my break in work and now I’m crying. Bad move. RIP Grandad. I love you 🖤

Lee Marvin was perfectly cast in this role, The entire film was either laughter or sadness for me. They don't make them like this anymore.

I am 82 in a month. This song still sits with me as I traveled most of my life esp. going where I had never been on purpose. Never had a sleeping place, a job , friends or family and sometimes not enough money to get me further down the road. I mostly did this while dragging a wife and kids with me. I am still a house painter and drywall man after 54 years but settled down these last 5 years. What a voyage..

Lee Marvin, the role model this generation needs, but doesn't deserve.

never get fed up of hearing this song so lucky 2 be born 1960

I am so enchanted with this song,May 9,2024 💙💙💙💙💙

'Snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry'

I grew up in an old gold mining town and have been wandering the world for the past 74 years. I love 'Paint Your Wagon' and this song epitomizes my life.

One of the great songs of all time.

Looks like this is a song from a strong generation of caring people. I have come to listen to this as it is my dad's choice for his funeral and he sadly passed away yesterday. He always used to sing this song and would watch all the old war and cowboy films when I was younger. Read some of these comments brings me a sense of warmth and comfort to know others loved this like he did. Rest in peace dad xxx

More than 50 years later, corporate America recognizes Lee Marvin. Semper Fidelis, Lee.

If this doesn't stir up emotions in you, then you're already dead.

There's more to singing than perfect pitch... Emotion and feeling count for a lot. Perfect !

When I learned to play the harmonica 40 years ago I played this song from memory even though I couldn't read a link of music. Now at 60 I can still play it by heart. The song touched me

What a whiskey soaked voice and yet it's just the right voice for the song.

Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a MUSICAL! Can life get any better? Thanks for the music.

I lost me mam on the fourth of December and I'd like to think she is now A wondering star that looks over me for rest of my days❤❤❤❤

This brings back so many heartbreaking memories love is love ❤

For a man who was not by any measure a singer, did a finer than fine job of it- he even got a hit single out of it! I met him once back in 1976 out in Montauk, NY, I was suck do to fog- working on my Commercial Pilot Certificate and he was there for Blue Fin Tuna! Thought it was interesting that I would be bunking out in the airplane!

Lyrics: I was born under a wandrin' star I was born under a wandrin' star Wheels are made for rollin' Mules are made to pack I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back I was born under a wandrin' star Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to Which with any luck will never come true I was born under a wandrin' star I was born under a wandrin' star Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello Heaven is goodbye for ever, it's time for me to go I was born under a wandrin' star A wandrin' wandrin' star When I get to heaven tie me to a tree Or I'll begin to roam, and soon you know where I will be I was born under a wandrin' star A wandrin' wandrin' star

My dad played this to us siblings in the back of a Datsun truck in 1976 in the Wild Coast, South Africa. A faint and yet pleasant memory.

I sing this song every time I have a bad sore throat

I love that people are still watching this, reminds me of childhood

I'm a big Lee Marvin fan.

I have always loved this song. Lee Marvin was truly the right person for it,

what a wonderfully baritone voice ole Lee Marvin had

I have played and loved this gem since 1969. In the 80s, when our kids were small,. they used to tease me sarcastically by imitating Lee's gravely voice when I played it. No more! They love it now! The movie was great, too. The legendary Clint Eastwood didn't hurt, either! It was also played at the funeral of a friend of mine who also used to work in the music business. It seems he had chosen this classic ahead of time.

This is such a simple song, but yet it is so powerful. I love it.

65 years ago as a young kid, I fell in love with this song and still am...

Dieser Song könnte ich endlos hören. So viele Sterne sind in letzten Jahren von meinen liebsten Menschen da oben, leuchten und erinnern mich an die wundetbare Zeiten mit ihnen. Trönen sind zu viele, so viele wie diese Sterne. Ein Song für die Menschen die ich so sehr vermisse. 😥

Funny story.. My grandpa loved lee Marvin (particularly this movie too) and all the classics like gene autry, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, etc. my grandpa passed away some time ago and I have named my son after him; his name is Gene. Ironically, this is actually the ONLY song that will calm him down and put him to sleep. I know my grandpa is looking over him somewhere from up there.

I saw an ad for amazon... and the song got me here , lol

my grandad had this song at his funeral on the 10 of jan 2024 and i play it ever day for him

Beautiful, brings back memories of this time! True song of life. ❤

Lee Marvin, a great talent that will be sadly missed.

I was a 9 year old kid watching this film ! as soon as Lee started singing i joined in and then all around me in the cinema everyone joined in - what a memory I'm 53 now !!! Great song and still is now!!

Lee Marvin wasn't known for singing but still he made this song sound so beautiful. One of my late fathers favourite song but when my father use to play this song I used to tell him, why do you keep playing this crap song over and over again and he said to me, son one day you'll learn to appreciate this song. Dad was right once again.

No matter who, where or when....this is a song for everybody.

Sitting here at 10 o’clock , December 2020 we are just going into Christmas it’s the 22 nd and going through all great songs , Please whoever you are ,thinking of you, even if don’t know where you living. A very Merry Christmas or holidays may your God be with you x have a Blessed New Year , hope to get rid of this awful awful year

For about 30 years, every time I get a bad cold I find myself singing this song. Next time YOU get a cold, try it. It's awesome!

He didn't want to sing this but ended up being a number one hit

I have loved this song all my life. Love Lee Marvin too. An unaffected down to earth real man and a decorated veteran. I guess this is my themevsong too, I am a veteran, 69 this year and been to more countries than my age. I still wake up every day with the travel lust, i ride motorcycles every week ( I keep two). The wind in my face and the sound of the road and the straight through exhausts calms me. Stay safe all you fellow wanderers.

This song makes you relax and think life is good edit: the feeling i get from this song is the hope for happiness as one wanders lost under the stars. There's a beauty in that melancholy , I think. People rightfully questioned my opinion and, three years after my original comment, I feel I should clarify

Look how many great actors of his era served this country during war. Hero all of them.!!!

This song with Lee Marvin was played at my fathers funeral Dec 23 2021. I was born under a wandering star, his wishes,loved him so much Ern.Hodson Miss you every day.

Love this old movie,Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood.Great acting and singing.Marvin amazing comedy actor❤

Say what you will. The film with Marvin, Eastwood and Seeberg truly was a great film!

My favorite movie. My favorite actor. My favorite song. Can it get any better than that...

Lee marvin was another great actor from USA. RIP and thank you for all the great movies Lee.

Das ist die schönste Filmmusik die ich kenne.Einfach so schön ,könnte ich mir immer wieder anhören.😃😐☺️😉😆

Such a relaxing song. Love when he says, "I've never seen a sight that didn't look better looking back."

I think there's a lot of us that have this is our theme song. It's one of the greatest songs of all times. Thank you Mr. Marvin.

My mum and neighbours took us to see this film way back then...she died a few months ago...Cancer, miss her sorely...rest in peace mum...I love you so...❤

My dad sang this he pass 3 days ago nice to hear it again rip dad ❤

One of the most underrated actors of all time. A TRUE LEGEND

My father loved Paint your Wagon. I play this every now and then, just in case he's listening. Just for you dad. xx

was a just a kid, but my dad was a bit of a race/rally driver. We were in the pit..so was Lee Marvin...all we wanted was orange pop. I am 63 now and I still think he is a manly man.

Wunderschöner Song von Lee Marvin immer wieder gern gehört.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Reminds me of the days when life was beautiful****

Mr. Marvin definitely one of the "ALL~TIME GREATS"!!!

I married a soldier at 19, so started moving at 18.. Then after divorcing, did nurse training and moved a lot with my son. Last few years been doing nursing/care wherever i was needed, even through covid. Nursing and care work for nearly 24 years on and off. Ex Royal Welsh Fusilier. I am 55 now and maybe i will never really settle in one place again. This song is perfect for me.

Unerreichbar diese Stimme! !!! Das waren noch Schauspieler, und Filme die man nicht vergisst.

One of the best movie songs I have ever heard - with the marvellous bass-voice of LEE MARVIN, a hard-boiled warhorse in many films. (5/29-2020)

This song appeared on my KZfaq feed my father loved it he died of Covid recently & this makes me smile.

Great song the gravely voice of lee makes it brilliant ❤

i always loved this song. I was in Korea on top of a mountain in 1969 when the movie was made.

Two thumbs up for Lee Marvin and this song, that's real talent..........

This used to be one of my grandpa’s favorite songs. When I listen to it it reminds me of him and then I know he’s still with me. It’s been a year since he passed away, I still miss him so much

Me encanta esta canción y por supuesto la película,la vi por primera vez hace muchos años pero tenía en casa. Un disco de bandas sonoras 😂 películas que la incluía , la escuche muchas veces,

This tune reminds me of my dad , Lee didn't have a great voice but no one else could sing this 😂❤ great film .

Raising my glass to Lee Marvin!

I remember this song from the spring of 1970 [No 1 for 3 weeks BBC Charts], although I was just 11 at the time. Along with Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water it kept the Beatles last single - Let it Be - off the No 1 slot. This was Lee's only record, but he was not really a singer, he was a Western actor, but this song is from his musical western Paint Your Wagon. I seem to remember that the B side was by another normally non-singing Western actor Clint Eastwood from the same film. Perhaps this single was released prior to the release of the full soundtrack album of the film. I did not get to see Paint your Wagon for nearly another decade, when I, by then a young adult, visited relatives in London on New Year's Day 1980 and it was shown on TV that afternoon.

Perfect 😊❤️🌹just the way I remember it 😊

I sing this when I'm wild camping in lakes n Wales especially walking at night looking up at the stars I think of Lee Marvin . A true tough guy.

snow can burn your eyes but only people make you cry so true

I was born and raised PROUD to be an AMERICAN. Please don't let that dissapear....

"..but only people make you cry.." So so true.

Lee Marvin was a great actor I love this song
