This is the greatest country song of all time. Are there anyone else seconding my emotion?

I was born and raised in Glendale Arizona in 1956 and I didn't know much about what my mom and dad did before I was born but when my mom and dad passed away I found a bunch of pictures love my mom and dad Marty Robbins and other guys I just say used to go out and listen to him and hang out together and the Beverly in the hangar Thunderbird Max's Corner shed 13 and the bars over in Peoria always liked his music I still got those pictures I know my dad and mom were really sad when he passed on my dad told me one time he was racing him on a motorcycle hit the curb and broke his kneecap coming back from the bar over in Peoria there used to be a lot of nice bars in Glendale and Peoria now there's none when were the good old days western music and dancing my Mom and Dad loved it I guess they're dancing up in heaven now God bless them all

This is the best Western ballad ever recorded. Marty Robbins was the best.

This song is like a novel, nothing is repeated over and over and over

Coincidently, I happened to live part of this song. I was stationed at Ft. Bliss and fell in love with a Mexican girl. Her name wasn't Fellina, but I am still married to her to this day 28 years later.

I was 8 years old when this hit was hot! I lived in southern California and it was so nice back then! My grandfather from the late 1800's would get tears in his eyes when it played. He was an old cowboy in his days of the early 1900's and he had a pinto horse back then! He was born in 1897. His name was Manuel and he lived in Santa Rita New Mexico! He and a friend ran to the hills of Santa Rita New Mexico when they were giving flu shots for the Spanish flu, he and his friend smoked for the first time that day, smokes they rolled themselves. He never got the dreaded Spanish flu. Marty Robbins had a spectacular great hit back then! I miss you Grandpa and Grandma! They were the best!

This isn't a song it is a story. Sung in the voice it was made for. Just beautiful.

I love this song. I was born in the South, a white kid who wound up in El Paso at 13. I had never had a girlfriend when I met Suzanna, a Mexican girl my age there. I fell in love with her and experienced my first kiss. Who doesn’t remember that glorious, joyful event! That first time I felt close to her was my last because we left El Paso soon after for another military base. This song always takes me back to my sweet Suzanna, my first love!

I love this song. This was my Father’s favorite song. I love you Dad.

One of the greatest songs ever recorded, by the one and only Marty Robbins.

As US Ambassador to Peru 20 years ago, I selected a variety of popular and classical American music for a radio station in Lima. This was the song I picked as an example of Western music in the U.S. and I noted the influence of Mexican ranchero music. This track got more comment -- they loved it! -- from the Peruvian public than any other in the 90-minute program.

I was 18 years old and in Korea, this song was played every night, several times and I can still return to the bad coffee heavy eyes and remember.  A favorite song of mine.  I am now 75 years old and this song makes me a youth again.  Thanks for putting it on here.  Bill Kirkland

Married to a Texan native/Mexican father/Scorpio gal. This song takes on a meaning only fellow Scorp victims can understand...love that woman.

In the 80s, I was the stage manager and sound engineer at a dinner theater in Tulsa called Ziegfield's. One of the highlights was working with Marty Robbins. He was the only star who bothered to show up for the sound check. Very friendly and down to earth guy. He also put on an amazing show. It was almost totally impromptu, playing whatever songs the audience would shout out. There were two shows a night and he was on for two hours for each one. Twice as long as anybody else did. The lobby was packed with people waiting for the second show and he was still going.

My father sang every one of these gunslinger ballads to my brother and I at bedtime.
He has a great ballad type voice. I can still hear his voice . . . 
55 years later I realize, he was singing, "I love you, my precious little cowpoke . . . "

[robertnightingall]

Marty, we loved and loved the treatment you gave those beloved western songs of old time and we all send you a glad and a happy thanks in return …Adios !!!

[marknovak]

Brings back my early days, maybe 1968 (I was 7) and my mum played Marty Robins as she cooked. Great days.

Great guitar work by Nashville A-Team guitarist Grady Martin.

Marty Robbins was one of the best. Hard to believe he has been gone for almost 34 years now. Only 57 when he died.

I fell in love with a Mexican Lady named Linda, we just celebrated 50 years.
