Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2008
- I can't say I like this song as it is probably one of the most depressing songs ever written. Having said that, I think the performance by Marty is gut wrenchingly great. His magnificent mournful voice is right at home in this song that really plunges to the depths of human sadness. You really believe he has written her his last letter.
The voice says it all . The Great Marty Robbins .
Marty was the finest country singer ever!I never tire of listening to his wonderful music!
The man with The Golden Voice, Mr. Marty Robbins.
Thank you for shares to support your greats singing lovely song bless you all amen
This is another one of Marty's beautiful love songs, even though it is sad
just listen to the most beautiful voice you have ever heard.
I love it !!
Marty is the best singer in country music period. In fact he can do anything!!
No one has ever sung this song as well as the great Marty Robbins! On a 10 point scale this is a 20!
I dunno. Waylon version on his double livec is... Pretty soulful and raw.
Will always miss Marty Robbins. Taken much too young.
UNBEATABLE SINGER AND AND MAN.
2018... makes no difference what Marty sings......he is the best. Too bad he left us so early!
Only Marty Robbins can sing this depressing sad song with so much emotion and heartache. I don´t have words to express how beautiful this is. I wish R.I.P meant "Return if possible".
My first time to hear this song and it brings tears.. Such sadness in his voice. He never ceases to wow me.
The fabulous Marty. Nothing more can be said.
I remember back when Public Television used to broadcast the entire Opry show live from Nashville on Saturday night during their pledge drive. I think it was March of 1974 they had a bad late season snowfall during one of those broadcasts. As was Marty's tradition he closed the show that night. One of the buses was involved in a fender bender so Marty told everyone that if they stayed he would stay on stage until the roads were clear. He walked off stage at 5:30 am. I was there that night.
Seen him in Toronto, they had to make him get off the stage...he was giving us an over time performance! Was great!! One of the best CM entertainers!
what an incredible voice this man had. thanks tarquin keep posting these great marty songs
Marty sings with so much emotion, he beats all the others hands down, I could listen to him all day.
Beautiful song. MARTY ROBBINS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS EVER
I'm a fan of most country artist but if I had only one quarter to put in the juke box I would punch a Marty song!
2018. A great singer......a beautiful song!

Mr. Teardrop does it again! One of my most favorite songs.
Utterly beautiful and unique...I thank you for this wonderful video...always more to learn about Marty and his talents ❤
HEARTWRENCHING RENDITION sung by FANTASTIC VOICED MARTY ROBBINS, R. I. P. 💌❤❤❤❤
Excellent!!.
You might be surprised at how many heart this song has touched.
Beautiful song thanks !!!!!!
Another great tearjerker from Mr. Teardrop. one of the greatest voices ever.
I agree with you tarquin. It is a truly sad song - an old one for sure. It has been done well by other artists whom I love but I first heard it by Marty who has a great voice. Thank you for posting. - Paula
This is a very beautiful song,a little depressing, but if you lost a loved one, this one is for you..I think Marty was crying himself when he sang this song..
Marty was my husband’s favourite , his voice was so full of emotion it’s hard to find another like Marty, when I lived in Scotland many many years ago I saw him live in Glasgow he was superb, by the way, I only like the old country singers and songs.
simply the best
So sad to listen to the sad words of this song, it makes me cry!
Still one of my favorite singer
I sang this song when I was a youngster, growing up in Louisiana, and it is a sad song indeed. Red Griffin wrote it after his wife left him. He died some years later, in New Orleans, LA and was just 47 years. His version of this song is a great record and you should get it if you ever get the chance.
Excellent RIP
Marty robin just the best voice bar none
What a man,what a voice,what a performer. In my book Marty Robbins will go down as the best ever. Nobody could hold a candle to him. Pity and sad that he died so prematurely. Love you Marty Robbins,RIP.
A very sad song, many people have felt this way. Heartbreaking.
Wanda Jackson also sang it
.
Oh,Tarquin,how can you say you don't like this song? I think all of us have either went through this,or watched someone we cared about , that did.But,you are correct that Marty really outdid himself here,as he usually does.Thanks for the song.
The thing is that it is a song about suicide and it is a somewhat depressing. Of course, the great Marty Robbins wrings out every drop of sorrowful emotion like only he could. I could easily shed a tear listening to it as Mr Teardrop sang with such conviction and sincerity. Love the singer, hate the song. Thanks for your comment, by the way.
Tarquin I agree with you 100 per cent.
Yes, the song is sad, but I love it, maybe because of the singer. No one will Ever top Marty.
Fabulous Martyand Don Gibson sings thisthe best love them both,they bothering with great emotion.
Perhaps you need to have received a letter like this to really appreciate how good this man was. Or you could just sit quiet & listen, he needs not comment from anyone. Just simply enjoy him, he was/is the best.
Little Roy and Jerry Byrd were Marty's favorite steel players. Hoy Hoy can be heard on almost every post from the early Grand Ole Opry show. Those video's were taken from the television Opry show. Marty was as warm and genuine as anyone I have ever met. A misconception about Marty was that he was aloof; that is untrue. He had several layers of friends but those closest to him were like family. Marty was very protective of his personal life and family which led some to think he was aloof.
Johnny Rodriguez did a great job in this song in the late 70's or early 80's. i have been looking for a video for it for a long time. even an audio version would be great.
This is right up there with Dottie west version love them both a great great song .
t;he song may be sad, but is so true!!! it happens!
The song could break a heart.
Little Roy told me once that this was his favorite sad song -- talked to him at his music shop in Pigeon Forge.
You got it now congrates especially for you bless y s amdn
Congrats love you get love amen bless us all
No need for words .
I think so often of how in the olden days some songs were written about dying for love or gong it alone if someone can't have whom they love. If there is true love then all of the material things shouldn't be the main point of whether to marry or just love someone .Years ago when I married we had very little. However, I always felt like if it truly came down to it I could live in a tent if I had to to be with him. The story here sounds like an object of love keeps in touch to torture someone.
Awesome
I love you Lord want you Lord amen
Nice, Thanks for posting! Willie Nelson does a good version of this too.
Nice to hear this one - cheers Dave. Any chance of "Funny Face"? All the best Les.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again
Will you be happy when you are withered and old
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
I cannot offer you clothes your young body crave
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrows you'll save
While I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you are breaking so free
But to this cruel world I'll soon say my farewell at last
I will be gone when you'll read this last letter from me
When you are lonely and tired of another man's gold
When you are lonely remember this letter my own
But don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
If you don't love me I just wish you would leave me alone
Best version I've heard was Chris O'Connell with Asleep At The Wheel (it's very hard to find; I don't think it's on youtube) Jack Greene's is good too. Too many singers change the words or leave off the last verse to hide that it's a suicide letter.
I am going to stay forever love you
I have heard the Willie Nelson version and also the Rex Griffin original. My preference however, is for the Marty Robbins and Jack Green versions. A n honourable mention should also go to Johnny Rodriguez.
The lyrics are sadly true.
I was surprised to hear Jeanette Carter of the Carter family sing this song
Little Roy Wiggins told me once that Marty wanted him on the recording, that is until Hoy Hoy broke him up with a mournful "Ting-a-Ling" run. "I'll never get through it with you playing like that Marty told him. Little Roy talks about both he and George Morgan tearing up on a live performance of this song on his videos posted on here. Little Roy is also playing behind Marty on the Marty Robbins at the Grand Ole Opry video as well.
Ray Price also does a great version of this song,Probally second only to Marty
Thanks for your informative post pro3tlb. Very interesting.
i think my favorite version has to be the waylon jennings version. i think he nails the feeling behind this song
It was actually written by Rex Griffin and dates from 1937. The best version that I have ever heard apart from Marty's is by Jack Greene.
this song was wrote with the last line being"I will be gone when you read this last letter from me"--the writer committed suicide
it can also be found on youtube by searching "last letter rex griffin."
Brought me tears. Lost family member to suicide
Marty was not the original singer.This song was written somewhere around 1940.I sang it when I was about 10 years old and I/m 80 now
Would you post the lyrics to this song please?
Very few country singers have ever committed suicide. I think that's because they let out their pain by writing songs and singing.
I think you're right. Holding it in is why suicide is the problem it is.
Thanks Justin for agreeing with me. Roger Miller recorded a song he wrote about suicide called, "One Dyin' and A Buryin"
Just slow death caused by degeneration of the liver.
Marty had that knack of really getting to the heart of the song. I don't like the song because it's a suicide song and I do like happy endings!
Great performance though.
why is this guy on all his songs, it must mean he put them on, but why not let them just instead clicking on them all of the time
Waylon also did a good version of this song.
Agree about Jack Greene's version, but find nothing special about Chris O'Connel's version which I have in my collection. I would have preferred to hear a Tammy Wynette or a Jeanie Seeley doing the song. Sadly ironic the subject considering what happened in Nashville yesterday.
he could sing using a phone book for words and it would be great......
i have heard many singgers sang this song but the best i heard so far is glen campbell...
I will not destroy your marrige,,so I going into the shadow now,,,I love you so much R 💌 Take care,,/Berit
Have you heard Bobby Sykes singing 'Jimmy And Me' which I posted on youtube? I think the recording is actually Little Roy Wiggins accompanied with a vocal by Bobby. I believe that Roy was one of the few of Nashville's musicians who Marty used to invite to his home in Brentwood.
Marty does OK on this song, but in my opinion Johnny Rodriguez owns this song.
