I my siblings grew up hearing my dad sing along with Marty Robbins, one of his favorite male country singers. This is one of my favorites of the awesome Marty Robbins. Best memory of Marty Robbins' music, was my dad always sang, "My Woman, My woman, My Wife to my mother. - Such Love... Awesome Dad and Husband.
sorry musik102. I did what you said . I went to hear Rodriguez., no way does he hold the light to Marty Robbins . Marty can sing anything . I love this man .
Ted Daffan recorded this in 1942, but on his record the writer is F. Brown. Maybe Brown is really Daffan, but every vinyl copy of this that I've seen has F. Brown listed as the composer...
Marty Robbins and Ray Charles surely had great versions of this song, but I've heard all the notable attempts and the best, by far, in my opinion is by LeAnn Rimes. The great Ted Daffan line -- "You were all the happiness I knew; born to lose, and now I'm losing you" -- is not included in the LeAnn version but overall she has the seminal version of this heartbreaking song, just as Linda Rodstadt's "Long Long Time" (Gary White's heartbreak classic) cannot and has not been touched by any others.
@backbeat64 Marty never actually recorded the song so it would have been interesting to see what a studio version would have been like. My own particular favourite version is by Johnny Rodriguez and Gene Pitney also did a very good recording of of it.
Marty robbins , greatest country singer , now and forever

The man spread joy all over and when I see this man performing it makes me glad and happy.Thank you Tarquin for posting.
I never thought anyone could outdo Ray Charles with this song, but I was wrong. Marty, you absoulutely the most beautiful voice ever set to music.
AT 80 I'm HEARING FOR FIRST TIME & LOVING EVERY NOTE & PHRASE....
I agree with everything you say about Marty Robbins. He was a pleasure to listen too & he was magic on stage. A proper gentleman

Mr Tear Drop.I love you Marty, always have, always will. See you in Heaven.
I have loved Marty's music since I was a child. He was just a wonderful singer who could make you cry.
Why 3 people put thumbs down ?
No one does it better than Marty !
Perhaps, but I think Hank Snow does it best.

I'd like to hear a full out recording of Marty doing this...
Marty, for my money, was the greatest
i love marty robbins!
Tennessee Ernie Ford also did a version of this song... But I believe this is the best version of all times.. but I'm also a big fan of Marty Robbins.
Another nice one, Dave. Cheers, Les.
I'm so used to Dean Martin's version. This version, more C.& W. is VERY pleasant!!
Such a comedian haha! Great song.
marty is the best
Ya'll forget that Born to Lose was first a Ray Price song.
Just proves there are three deaf igeots in this world. But we should never mock the afflicted.
Geoffrey Lane Thank you, I've played bass for so many years, I'm deef in one ear & can't hear out of the other---much!
yep , lol
Ted Daffan recorded this in 1942, but on his record the writer is F. Brown. Maybe Brown is really Daffan, but every vinyl copy of this that I've seen has F. Brown listed as the composer...
If you can find it, try listening to Dean Martin's version . Very nice.
I was born to lose but JESUS saved me now I'm winner no thanks to me. EPH 2:8-9

how can you forget Ray Charles version?
Didn't Chevy Chase cover the song as well.

That should be "Rodriguez", of course.
Eight people are having some kind of malfunction.
Great song, greater singer, great musical performance until the guy on keyboards started his circus background.
