Something about ElPaso Texas that one can’t live it behind my roots will Always be there near the Rio Grande I lived in my daddy’s farm which was located along his farm Many stories to tell about my life near the famous Rio Grande The people that cross the river from Mexico seeking a better life in America mom would feed them Bean burritos n dad would let them wash up with our water pump from the ground I wonder how many lives we changed by helping this people I hope we did have changed their lives for the better cause we were the first Americans to welcome them to America I guess we did cause many years later a few would stop by n they would thank my Parents for helping them n given them a chance n believing in them some became big farmers like my daddy that contribute much to America by growing his cotton best cotton in the whole USA You see daddy was also a wet bag that cross the Rio Grande for a better future I could go on about my daddy n what he accomplished n What he gave back to America he had 5 sons n three severed in the Air Force 🇺🇸

Where's the lead guitar? There's a second guitar (or it might be a mandolin, I don't know). There might be a violin in there too. You can hear a second guitar, or whatever it is, in almost all the breaks between lyrics. Listen close at 1:42 for example. Whatever this other instrument it, it isn't shown in this supposedly live recording.

Actually, that's not necessarily true. At the time, since performing on stage was so important, many recording companies would record a second version for such performances, complete with slightly changed lyrics, intros, endings, and/or whatever. The performers were still lip-singing, just to a version different from the album or record release. Of course, I don't know if Marty was doing that here. By the way, recording companies rarely do a second version today (stopped many years ago) since it nearly doubles the recording costs with little financial benefit.

This song really brings back memories for me from the early 1960s. When I was a little kid my older sister used to play the song in her room and I would hear the music traveling downstairs and the lyrics painted pictures in my mind of the story it describes, just like I was actually watching a movie of it. It's a bittersweet memory for me now as my sister passed away last year, and she was the last of my family to depart this world as I am the youngest and alone now. This song will always remind me of her and that wonderful time in our family home when we were all together during my young life.

Very cool , I wish country music still sounded like this

For years, every Friday night, every Saloon and cantina in El Paso would be blaring this tune. People from neighboring Juarez , on day trip to El Paso, immediately asked for a translation. Once they knew the meaning to the lyrics, they would love the song that much more. Marty Robbins was a genius.

Back when the genre was "Country & Western." RIP Marty.

Marty Robbins was, is and will be my very own favourite Singer. He came from a poor family but died, A GREAT AND FAMOUS COWBOY-SINGER, A LOVER, AN ACTOR and A GOOD PERSON who is at the same time being remembered a GOOD ENTERTAINER by all his beloved fans all over the world. I WILL ALWAYS BE MARTY ROBBINS's fan.😊

When my dad was a young man trying to decide what he wanted to do in life, worked for the Santa Fe railroad in McCamey, Tx. He said when Marty came out with this song, a big radio station down there, maybe out of El Paso, played this song back to back to back all day for several days!

because of this song, i moved to El Paso and lived there 6 years....loved it. Even found a Mexican girlfriend......whom i'll always have fond memories of...... YC.

This brings wonderful memories! They took the western out of country-western and now they’ve taken the country out of country. How sad. RIP Mr. Robbins. You are missed.

Marty's voice was magic and the songs were great but pay attention to the lead guitar behind Marty. It is part of what made this song and Big Iron greatest hits. The guitarist was Grady Martin, a great studio musician of the time.

My late husband was stationed in El Paso and we lived there on and off for almost 30 years. Every time I hear this song and El Paso City It brings back the wonderful life we had there and sometimes I cry because my husband isn't hear to listen with me. Pat

I had the pleasure of talking with him behind stage just a few minutes before he went on stage. What a wonderful gracious man. He had no hesitation to visit with me. He wore a blue western suit with suade and leather trim. He did say he was always nervous before going on, but I told him that he is one of my favorite singers, and I had at that time, all of his albums. He was happy to hear that and I said you should never be nervous as everyone out in that audience was there because they love you and are so happy to have a chance to see you in person, he gave me a shoulder hug, said thank you Red.

Both songs, here, are live and are simply some of the most eloquent vocals recorded by anyone. He had no reverb, echos, mixers or electronic synthesis of any kind - it's just pure cowboy music at it's best!!! ... btw - Marty often played rhythm guitar - just not for this recording of El Paso City :)

And in the background we have Tex Ritter, father of John Ritter. As a kid, his dad was a REAL Cowboy. I watched Gene, Roy, The Lone Ranger and Hoppy. But I wanted to be a cowboy, like the ones Marty sang about.

Edit: just heard the second song in this trilogy named Feleena. That song was just as beautiful and just as perfect if not even more so since it give more detail in to the story. That song is over 8 minutes long. Apparently El Paso came first, Feleena was the second song and El Paso City was the third song in the trilogy.

Lucader delanto I don't know the population of your school, but I'd be willing to bet that there are others there who share you musical taste. Back when I was in school (1950's through most of the '60s) I was a big Sinatra fan; still am. I was surprised to find, back then, that many of my contemporaries were also fans of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, and others of their era, as well as earlier singers and musicians. It's just that many young people are afraid to let others know that they don't necessarily enjoy what is current and popular. Enjoy what you like, and don't worry about what others think. (I always feel a little sorry for those whose musical taste is limited to only one style; they're missing out on a whole world of music.)

I don't know how these souls are so broken, that they can give a thumbs down. To one of ,I think is the best story songs ever.

This song by Robbins is pure Country, a perfectly written song. The Marriage of lyric and melody, can't get any better then this.

IN 1959 I was in Air Force school in Texas and that song was on the air. I really liked it then and still do.

Remember my dad listening to this back in the day. And now it's one of my favorites.

I was born in 1959, the year that the Gunfighter Ballads record was released. I grew up with these songs. Also, the Glaser brothers were usually his backup group.

WE played this song at my mother's funeral.

On October 11, 1982, Marty Robbins was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The last two and a half minutes of this video is the official presentation. Sad to say, less than two months later, Marty Robbins had passed away after a heart attack.

Marty Robbins,a great singer.My dad John Parsons liked this song,he passed,away,2002,was 66.Dedicated this comment to dad.

We who are old now were young not long after the American wild west. So the singer's and movie makers of the 1950s and 60s were even closer to that great country and adventure. Imagine finding a new world and it has a wild west. Now today we're in the end-days, because everyone thinks sun day is commanded.

Marty Robbins had such a beautiful voice so soothing and his songs were incredible like someone telling you stories and you just had too listen he didn't get the recongntition he deserved . they will never be anyone like him so sad we don't have country music like this.

One of the best country songs ever written, sung by one of the top singers of all time!

my grandmother used to play me this lp when i was a kid....im Norwegian but she translated the lyrics to me in real time and i was blown away at the age of six. I found the part of being shoot very radical cause of the nice melody and flow of both lyrics and melody.

I can clearly remember El Paso playing on my grandparents radio in their little Tag a Long camper that we used to live in during our summers at their place upstate New York. It is now my place, some 35 years later and I have a vintage sound system up there so I can spin such classics as these on vinyl. The songs echo through the valley and magically I am back with them after our many years apart. I miss grandma and grandpa terribly because of the damned fine memories they left with me.

@J.C. Woods That is great! I'm glad we have this soundtrack of our lives to trigger such fond memories of our past.
