She did not pass away. He said "When she crosses that river" So when she does pass, give her my share of heaven.

Marty had a massive crossover hit in 1957 called A WHITE SPORTS COAT. I was in high school and I remember that the song was everywhere, on every radio station. People listened to the radio then like they are on their phones today, so you could hear this song dozens of times a day. The song made Marty a household name back then.

Marty has a son named Ronnie Robbins that sounds almost exactly like him, and does the same exact facial expressions while singing.

That's exactly what I was going to comment. I saw Marty in the early 70s and Ronnie in the early 80s. If you closed your eyes, you would have sworn it was Marty singung.

We lost Marty way too soon. He was only 57 when he passed.

Women were crazy for him. I remember watching a video on KZread where Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins performed together. The women screamed when Marty approached the audience.. Merle Haggard did an awesome impression of Marty, by singing one of his songs in front of him. Marty's expression while listening was pretty funny.

There are videos of Merle doing impressions of several country stars. Merle was quite a looker too when he was young!

Marty Robbins married his wife Marizona when he was in his 20's and stayed married until his death 34 years later.

A White Sport Coat is a good choice. It’s early Marty Robbins. One of my personal favorites is “Cool Water” 🔥❤️☮️👵🏼

Please, please do more Marty. ❤❤❤❤❤

Wish more people would react to this song from him, instead of just El Paso. It's like people only requesting or only reacting to Johnny Cash's "Hurt," when he has a huge catalog of hits in his prime that established who he was.

Hi Britt, she didn't pass away, he just said when she does she deserves a mansion in heaven.

One of my favorite songs by Marty is "You Gave me a Mountain"

Yes

Wicked humor and a real good race driver.

His music career lasted from the late 1940's through the early 80's, He was a NASCAR racing driver from 1966 to 1982. He had a very competitive stretch between 1971 to 1976, with 6 top 10 finishes, two at Darlington.

Marty and Charlie Pride are my 2 all-time favorite country male artists. If you haven't checked Charlie out yet, you really need to.

@@BigJohnLXV ...an excellent idea!

I played this song for my dad when he was in his eighties and my mother, also in her eighties, was in the hospital recovering from a devastating fall. I was born a twin and my twin brother died when we were ten months old so the line about the two little babies was especially poignant. They were a farming family and there were some really hard times, but my mother never complained about the hardships and was always a calming presence. My dad cried.

My mom's favorite singer! Listen to Devil Woman by him.

Marty was a musical treasure. A tribute to all the wonderful women in the world that complete their husbands. Thanks for the video.

In my opinion Marty Robbins is the greatest storyteller in Country music history. You need to listen to "Master's Call". He has so many great songs.

Agreed, Brit you would enjoy "The Master's Call"

One of the finest voices in the history of country music. Earned the Grammy for this song. (He wrote it.) Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1982. Died a few months later at the age of 57 of heart disease. A tragic loss.

Marty was my all time favorite. Wish I could have seen him. He is the G.O.A.T.

Song of the year

"When she reaches that river up yonder..." He's basically saying that when she eventually does die, she deserves Heaven and all the rewards it can offer...even his share.

it' was like his prayer in advance of her death, praying to the lord to give her what she has earned and deserves.

No. She didn't pass away, but their 2 babies did. True story. So Marty wrote this song. The Song says "When she reaches that River Lord you know what she's worth Give her that mansion up yonder Cause she's through Hell here on Earth Lord Give her my share of Heaven If I've earned any here in this life Cause God I believe deserves it My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" It's definitely worth a relisten, but find the studio version.

Marty was an incredible singer, and a great all round entertainer and songwriter. He could play many instruments, sang backup vocals for many other singers. He was amazingly talented!! His wife was still alive when he passed in 1982.

Hi Ms. Britt, As I have said many times Mr. Marty is a special vocalist that I do not think got the recognition that he deserved.. He also was at an Award show & was asked to sing a couple of songs for some other people that could perform themselves; different genres, he did great.. ♠W.G.

married when both of us was 21 and we played this song every day for over 50 years and it's so true !!!

She didn't pass away. This song however was written for his real wife. He sang the first country song to win a grammy. He was also a raceway driver in NASCAR. I attended 2 of his concerts when he was alive and I can tell you he was a phenomenal performer. He rarely left the stage when he was supposed to. He wrote many of his own songs and songs for others. He sang one song with Clint Eastwood titled Honky-tonk Man in a movie by the same name. He has many great songs but one I would recommend over others is called A Man and A Train.

I sure Love Marty Robbins............. such a Good , Good, Husband , Dad, and Performer

Actually played in quite a few movies too

This is one of my favorite songs from him, along with "Don't Worry". But he has a lot of great songs.

Marty Robbins never had a song that was not great. Fantastic voice, fabulous entertainer, great writer and great piano player!

Marty Robbins is a great storyteller and has an extensive catalog (yes, everyone suggests "Big Iron" and "El Paso" but also look for "The Master's Call", "Devil Woman" and "Lord, You Gave Me a Mountain"). He served in the Navy in WWII and was also a race car driver and was credited with likely saving the life of Richard Childress when he made a split second decision to turn his car into a concrete barrier while going 160 mph rather than plowing into cars that had wrecked and were strewn across the track in front of him (had he not turned he would have T-boned the driver side of Richard's car).

Theologically it's heresy, though the sentiment is earnest. Marty also composed and recorded "This Time You Gave Me A Mountain" made famous by Frankie Laine and Elvis.

Marty was called the man with a velvet voice. Heard this song in my teens. Dreamed that a man would love me like that. I chose badly. But its my fav by Marty song anyway.

Robbins was known as much for his stock car racing as for his music.

Sadly, he passed at only the age of 57, but is immortalized in song!

My Aunts, Uncles & parents had season tickets to Packard Music Hall here in Warren Ohio to see Country Music stars perform. My Aunt had surgery & gave me her tickets for that month(1975/76). She said l could take anyone l wanted. I was so excited & asked my bf if she wanted to go with me & she said yes. She didn't like Country Music. We were teenagers & All l talked about for a week was, "you're gonna fall in love with Marty Robbinson. He has a sexy voice!" My parents picked her up & l kept repeating that statement in the car & at the Hall. My friend really didn't believe me & all she would say was ok. Ronnie Robbins (Martys' son) sang 1st. Then Marty came out & there sat 2 googly eyed teenagers drooling over Marty Robbins. Marty at this time was in his 50's. That man could SING!!!! My friend fell in love with Country Music that nite & soon discovered Conway Twitty & The Statler Brother. Those three were her favorites. I will never forget that nite. I now laugh whenever l think about it. My friend thought l was crazy.😂😂😂

I think you missed the line 'Two Little Babies were born in the Spring, but died when the Winter was new.' Marty was just surmising about when he would lose his wife in the song.

My wife passed away Feb. 8th 2004,when I sing karaoke I sing this song for her.

You should see clips of him from a few years later. He rocked a mustache that made him look like Burt Reynolds.

My Dad's song to my Mom. She passed before him. Thank you.

Fabulous singer. I love this song!

When I was real young my mother took me and my brother to see Marty Robbins she was young single mother my father ran off and left us anyway it was a good event she had a big thing for Marley and it was real good to watch him

3:01 2 babies were born 😊in the spring 😊but died when the winter 😢 was new 😢

Your awesome girl.

This is the song my dad had played at my mothers funeral

Marty Robbins enjoyed racing in NASCAR on a part-time basis.

I saw Marty Robbins in concert in Casper, Wyoming in (I think it was) 1979 or 1980 . He was Awesome! The nicest person ever! Beautiful voice! One of my favrite singers.

El Paso!!!!!!!!! El Paso City

He sings this song, with passion!!!!!

Oh baby girl baby girl. So much to say but I’ll try to make it brief. Interesting that you compared his voice with Elvis. Elvis’ first hit was “That’s All Right”. It was actually a bigger hit for Marty. Marty also recorded “You Gave Me a Mountain”. You can watch Elvis perform it from his Aloha From Hawaii concert. Excellent excellent performance. This song is exactly how I feel about my wife and I would give anything to have heard Elvis perform it. Gives me chills just thinking about it. Another Marty Robbins tune I think you would enjoy….Devil Woman. Thanks for sharing. Accept your blessings today.

Fun fact Marty Robbins race 36 races in NASCAR he was a pretty good driver I think he did it for a quite a few years

Can you imagine your man walking into the room telling you he’s written another song and 3 minutes later you have heard this?!?!!

Marty had tons of hits. Many cowboy/western songs as well as" regular" type music. A lot of the western songs that he wrote were based on stories his grandpa, who had been a Texas Ranger, had shared with him. Listen to Big Iron

Love your youtube channel can't wait for more from you.👍

I used to sing this song to my wife

What you missed was him saying, "Two little babies were born in the spring, but died when the winter was new..."

Hey Britt..FYI Marty was also a NASCAR driver.

Another singer who died young, shortly after his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1982

She didn’t pass away.. he’s looking to the future

You gotta realize i heard this song 100,000,000 times . I dunno if she died. But ty for the song .

No he is just asking God to give her those things when her time comes. Marty wrote this song too. He wrote it especially for his wife whom he married in 1945. The song was released in 1970 and 3 or 4 days after the release Marty went under the knife for a triple bypass. Marty played multiple instruments. He was a singer, actor, songwriter, businessman and even a race car driver. For a great song from Marty which will also tell you a story and give you a history lesson I am leaving a link for The Ballad of the Alamo. He is famous for his story songs. Also worth a listen his trilogy of songs El Paso, Faleena and El Paso City. Here is the Alamo link. kzread.info/dash/bejne/d62plbGCnpinYJM.html

Marty was also a driver in the 1960's in NASCAR, although not very successfully. His cars were painted in interesting colors.

You need to dig in to Marty's music. The El Paso trilogy (3 songs) he also wrote and performed This Time You Gave me a Mountain.

She doesn't die. When she does die then she deserves a mansion and any rewards she or he has coming.

He's a Western Singer. Check out the El Paso Trilogy. Yes, three songs linked to perfection. As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.

You need to listen to all of the words, not the music of this song. He's praising his wife, for all of her greatness! Listen to the words!

you need to listen to him sing t"onight carmen"

They lost twin babies and it nearly broke them, her faith carried them through.

Listen to Marty Robbins singing Just Married. Also listen to Johnny Cash singing Man in White.

I believe this is the song he got a grammy for.

Marty actually had some success in Nascar

You have a beautiful singing voice.

No she did not die; he was asking God to give her everything she deserved when she reached heaven and anything he deserved he wanted her to have because she meant that much to him.

My Grandfather had Alzheimer's when I was in middle school. His mind went fast and my Grandmother took care of him. I never understood their relationship except that when he forgot everything else in this world he still loved this song. He kept ordering Country Life of the infomercials just to hear it 😁😂

Please react to Felina part 2 of the El Paso trilogy

Please react to Marty Robbins Am I that easy to forget

He saying she deserves it when she does pass

In the song she died!

As others have said, she hasn't passed. *Yet*. I could very well be wrong, but to *me*, this would appear to be a prayer for his wife who is very soon to pass. (e.g., she's on her deathbed)

I think you missed the two little babies who died. I've always listened to the recorded version, which comes across stronger. I also don't think she died, but he's trying to say she's earned her mansion in Heaven.

He was eluding to his woman dying, don't really know though. Beautiful song-Mr.X

Marty was a ladies man, also raced in Nascar.

They had 2 kids that died, in the song

he was talking about her going to Heaven

I know you like live performances, but you should follow up (for yourself) by listening to the studio versions on some of the oldies. The sound quality of the stage performances back then was tenuous at best. Peace, Love!!

Dean Martin did an amazing rendition of this song as well.

He was also a nascar driver

that is so cool!!

Lots of You'll Never Walk Alone vibes in this song. Was it inspired by it?

You really missed the symbolism here. He says when she crosses that river,( this referring to when your time comes and you leave this world and cross over to the next) and to to how hard give her a place on the hill refers that she has work hard and has had devastating trials in her life so give her a place to rest and if her deeds are not enough take my and add to hers, for I will sacrifice myself for her so as that she may have peace, rest , fore had it not been for her I would not have been the man that I was

Stick a fork in me, I'm done. He left this world so young, but thankful we have access to his and many others music.

If you didn't interrupt so much you could hear what he was saying about I love you reaction sometimes they mess up the song don't worry I'ma keep watching you

Please do DEVIL WOMAN.

You missed the part about two babies born and died.....

🤎💜💙💚💛🧡

Another that left us way too early....

This is indeed beautiful, but I prefer Dean Martin's version from his TV show. Dean recorded that performance as he was going through a divorce with his wife of years and years, Jeannie. Watch closely and you can see the tears in his eyes. Breaks my heart every time I watch it.

Love you videos but if you would've stopped yakking a minute you would've heard him sing about 2 little children passed when the winter was new. JS.
