Best cowboy ballad ever written and performed.

Marty Robbins, was an American singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist & NASCAR racing driver. Robbins was one of the most popular and successful country & western singers for nearly five decades 40's-80's. He had so many hits such as "Singing The Blues", "Devil Woman", "A White Sport Coat", "The Story of My Life", "Don't Worry", "Big Iron", "Knee Deep In The Blues", "Honkytonk Man", "Don't Worry 'Bout Me", "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" etc.

Great reaction great song beautiful girl.

You just had a Taste of The King of Country Western Music Sarah !!!! Great Reaction

The song is sheer poetry, it topped the American charts in the first week of the 60's. It is one of the classic songs of all time and Marty truly had a god given gift and possessed a voice that few, if any could better. Try his 'The Master's Call' next, you will be blown away by it. Nice reaction by you as well, thanks.

He is such a great story teller. This song is part of a Trilogy. That was the first song. Next would be the song Feleena and the 3rd would be El Paso City. Love the channel 😁❤️

Marty’s voice and songs were wonderful. Glad you liked this Sarah!!

Good to see Marty Robbins getting some shine.

Talent, pure talent.

Been a fan of Marty Robbins for years glad you were able to experience his music

I'm born and raised here in El Paso, Texas! This was a staple to hear. Our University use the melody in their school song. Marty Robbins wrote this song driving through our city. He also wrote "El Paso City". I loved your reaction. Thank you for sharing this moment with us.

I grew up on rock and roll but I love this song by Marty Robins. Like you said, he told a story, start to finish, with no repeats.

So nice to see a reaction to this song! As a child from the Netherlands I lived in El Paso for one year, and still every now and then this song passes by at family meetings and all singing along loudly 😅

I watched an old tv show from 1973, Midnight Special, just today that Marty & Loretta Lynn hosted. He was so likeable & talented, & handsome too.

This is the first song in a trilogy - the next one is "Feelena" (telling her side of the story) and the last one is "El Paso City".

It's always so wonderful to see your videos and see your reactions to such a wide variety of musical styles. I grew up listening to Marty Robbins and so many of the great country singers. Another of my favorites with a magical voice was Jim Reeves. He was not only a singer but like Robbins was also a storyteller. You sould review his song "Spell of the Yukon" Thanks again for all the great content on your channel. Be happy safe and Healthy. \

A great story teller.

Good reaction video to this awesome song!!!! As you probably been told about a ga-billion times, this song is part of a TRILOGY. However, an "unofficial" additional song to this trilogy would be "7 Spanish Angels" by Ray Charles & Willie Nelson and really should be listened to after "Feleena". In "7 Spanish Angels", Feleena picks up her lover's empty gun, aims it the other cowboys, and they then shoot her to death.

Hi Ms. Sarah, A Great Singer and Personality.. ♠W.G.

This is actually the first song in a trilogy of songs that tells you a story. Now you want to do Feleena of El Paso and El Paso City for the whole story

THE quintessential country/Western song.

I have been a fan since the 70s yeh

You give the purest reactions 😊

One of my mothers favorites. This one is a journey!

Sarah ... Shout-Out to you as i'm literally 75 miles north of El Paso up here in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Me encanta 💚 tu canal de musica !!

Now that you have had a taste of western music, you should listen to the Sons of the Pioneers. The Lilies Grow High, Cool Water, Wind, Cowboy’s Dream, Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Timber Trail, Ridin’ Down the Canyon… all great songs from the Sons.

This is country and western at its best, better than any of the modern stuff

You should listen to El Paso City by MARTY ROBBINS.

Another good Marty Robbins song is Big Iron ..

Marty was a masterful story teller

Some have mentioned the other 2 songs that go with this. PLEASE do them pls pls pls :)

It's like watching a movie in my mind

There are a few songs that are this story, it’s a trilogy! Great right!🤠🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The 'Rosa's Canteena' building still stands!

Peace, Love!!

I never saw anyone take so much delight in this song. This is the tragic tale of jealousy, anger, murder, horror, grief, sorrow, loss, isolation and desperation. It's the story of a hunted and haunted man bitterly regretting *_“the foul, evil deed he had done.”_* What he lost was his love, and what it cost was his life. We also have the story of “the Mexican maiden”, who realized too late that careless actions have deadly consequences. But, hey! I'm glad you found so much humor in their misery...

Groovy video! Such a great story

You should try his other gunfighter songs, like Big Iron, Running Gun, etc. Another song about a NASCAR driver called Twentieth Century Drifter is worth a listen.

Everyone misses the fact that the guy was a horse thief. Proof of the duel is easy to find. But being a horse thief, that's a whole different thing. Horses were the life to many in the "old west." Taking someone's horse is almost like murdering someone. It was always punished with death.

yep

😍😍😍😍😍 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Have you heard Big Iron by Marty Robbins?

All I can say is you can't go wrong with a cowboy 🤠

Hi, I love your channel I especially loved your reaction to the Bee Gees last year. You need to listen to the Little River Band the song name is "Lady" you won't be disappointed

469 words in that song!

The second part of this is about the fight from her side and not his. it is called Feleena. by the same artist

Pretty woman ❤❤❤

Listening to this song is almost as good as watching a movie.

Oddly enough if he hadn't run he wouldn't have died. The other cowboy drew first so his drawing in response was self defense. But in running he stole a horse and that was a killing offense back in those days.

Makes me want to stay single

Now do "Big Iron"

It's been suggested that he was shot because he stole a horse, an offense considered much worse in Texas ( & the West, in general ) esp. In those days, than shooting someone who drew on you first.

I asked my great-uncle one-time why did the Cowboys kill him. that I mean he defended himself didn't he.My Uncle said the Cowboys kill him for killing the horse.

Notice there is no chorus only lyrics.

This story seems like some things like this can happen. sadly he die to meet her.

scanned the comments, None cared about the dead cowboy...They killed him over the horse that he stole, a hangable offence in those days.

Heartbreaking wasn’t it?

It’s more likely he was shot for stealing the horse than challenging the young suitor. 😉

Sorry stealing the horse

Fun fact, his killing of the handsome stranger was completely legal, as stated here "self-defense only justifies the use of force when it is used in response to an imminent threat. For a threat to be imminent, it must be certain to occur". He was killed because he was overcome with adrenaline, wasn't able to think straight and stole a horse because he thought he'd be sought out by bounty hunters for killing in self defense. The poor guy could have had a beautiful Mexican woman with sharp eyes and a loving embrace but was just too yellow for his own good!

Real Men's music
