Marty Robbins - El Paso (Live)

‘Big iron on his hip’ too!!

Always loved this song. Marty paints such detailed pictures in your head with his words. You can see it all. Gordon Lightfoot is the only other artist I know that could write ballads like this song.
Side note: I never realized Marty looked so much like George W., lol.

I have seen Marty Robbins in several recorded live videos. He never missed a note, never strained to hit it. What an incredible voice and an amazing singer. I’m a fan for life.

The art of the ballad!

This is a three part series, this is part 1 part 2 is faleena which continues where this song finishes part 3 El paso town

I agree a great song. However; the other guy drew first so, it was obviously self defense! Does the posse get him for stealing the horse? Dang! Please someone explain...

I hope you young cats fully understand and can deeply appreciate just how incredibly world class this and other "Old School Country" was and is. Truly amazing music and talent.....

My Dad's favourite song, I chose it for his funeral. My sisters and I are word perfect it was played so often

Hombre tells story...native is unimpressed....no knock....just perspective....200 years ago, this is very common....

My 17 yr old,orange-headed, Dutch,German,Irish,Czech,Hungarian kid cranks this song up on his 12"Rockford Fosgates in Carson City,NV , though he hails from Northern wisconson,U.S......this shows the spread of the influence of beauty...just an awesome song!!

I am Italian, I live in Spain, but I love country and western music and I am so proud about it. Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash are my Idols, rest in peace and may they be singing with the Angels next to our Lord ❤️

In the late 50 s, I went with some schoolmates to Ohakea as part of our A.T.C. course. We went to the "dry" canteen and played this great song on the "Juke Box", so many times that within an hour the place was nearly empty. I still love listening to the full version when I find it.

Wow, excellent.

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.

I've always loved this beautiful song. It definitely reveals some of Texas finest history.

I always say Marty Robbins an Roy Orbison would make a great duet...

Marty Robbins did it best! El Paso!
😅

I met Marty when I was just a kid. He shook my hand and called me, ''Partner''.

my dad was surprised at how much I liked this album. He said it was cool a 13 year old knew about Marty Robbins. That night I decided to buy the full Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs album on vinyl. Best $20 ever

Something quiet ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love texas

Always goosebumps and often, because it reminds me of my mother, even wet eyes.

Quite possibly the best country song ever written.

Absolutely love this song

When I was in high school listening to radio, I heard a song that was sung so beautifully but the DJ never gave a name to the song or the singer so I couldn't buy the album. A few years later, I was watching TV and the news announced that Marty Robbins had died and played excerpts from some of his songs and one was that song that I heard on the radio years before--it turned out to be "El Paso." I rushed to the record store and bought an album with that song (Gunfighter Ballads) and I loved all the songs on that album.

Timeless!.. great song 👍🎶

Back when music was music

Stone classic.

….Robbins suffered from PTSD (from fighting in the Solomon Islands during WWII)….He believed that race car driving helped with it.…

“….At last, here I am on the butte overlooking El Paso, I can see Rosa’s Cantina below…..” What lyrics…❤

….Marty Robbins had a HUGE talent (his voice & guitar skills would have made him one of the greats—but the ability to write & score such a beautiful song makes him a legend)….

….I had no idea that he had died so young….What a LOSS ❤❤❤

He actually painted a picture for you to see in your mind as he sung !!!❤️

Can ya hear that?? No facking auto tune. Brilliant. What an album too

One of the best singers in Country music. I heard that he didn't like being on camera because he thought he was ugly, but he wasn't at all. Very humble man.

Marty Robbins has to be one of the best singers ever well done Marty ❤

More than a quarter of a century ago I was stationed at Fort Bilss in El Paso when I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. It was in that fall of 1996 when I met and fell in love with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Due to a quirk of fate, I did not find the courage to make her my wife, although I believe today that she wished for it.
Now, 27 years later, I am a "full bird" Colonel. I have never been married. And not a single day passes by on which I don't think of my beautiful Angel and those days back in El Paso.

Beautifully done.
I wonder who was playing the guitar embellishments.

Now this is..... country!!!

Gracias por los comentarios, y gracias, al que escribio la letra de la cancion. Tank you.

Liberec (Czech Republic) Miluji tuto píseň...vždy se cítím uvnitř dobře, když ji slyším. ❤ Děkuji

My dad listened to this guy back in the 80s. His songs have never left me or the stories behind them. Legend

I had the honor of knowing him as a child .

Beautiful. Was my Mother’s favourite song ❤

Yes it is one of my favourite they don't sing like this anymore 🤨🤨🤨

Love it
