Lee was nervous because he couldn't carry a tune to save his life. But, this song was a hit and he earned a gold record. I can't imagine this song being sung by anybody else. Sometimes imperfection can be a plus.

Lee Marvin was one of my favorite actors.

Watched all the old Westerns with my Dad, when l was a kid growing up in the seventies.We loved them all. Shane, Rio Bravo, Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. All of ‘em. Dad loved this one too. For some reason, one way or another we never watched this one fully together. Now he is gone, and it saddens me we didn’t. One day Dad, one day.❤

Lee Marvin's lack of a singing voice is what nade the song so powerful. Lee gave us the contemplative feelings of a lonely, homeless, wanderer. The character he protrayed in this movie. A better voice couldn't give us that.

My dad used to sing it to me when I was a baby

Loved the movie and I cried when I first saw and heard this song back in 1969. Still did just that watching it today, in May 2024.

Hi Melissa

I was in this movie and was talking with Lee Marvin just before we started shooting this scene. We were talking about a movie I was in with Elvis called Double Trouble. I was in the band with Elvis as his lead guitar player in the film. The producer of Double Trouble was Judd Bernard who was the producer of a movie called Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. Lee was telling me how he and Judd has a little understanding before he agreed to do the film. Lee told me that the agreement was that he got to do his thing and the producer got to do his thing. In Lee's case it was to get to take a nip or two whenever he liked. Lee also took a nip or two during the filming of Paint Your Wagon. Which was a blast to make by the way. Three or four hundred hippies high as kites playing drunken gold miners. It doesn't get any more surreal than that. What a way to spend the Summer of 1969 living in the mountains 50 miles out of Baker City, Oregon. A time I will never forget.
