The Day Marty Robbins Died by The Johnnys (AUS) Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1986

[Verse 1]
Well my bottle, is empty
And my head is preoccupied
'Cause my luck just ran out
And today Marty Robbins died

[Verse 2]
Well my horse, got divorced
And my pigs, they all cried
And my big iron will not fire
'Cause today Marty Robbins died

[Bridge]
Whoa Marty, when you rode into El Paso
Wearing your white sports coat
And singin' songs about lost love and life that you wrote

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Like Mother Maybelle, and Hank Williams
At that Grand Ole Opry in the Sky
I believe he'd be singin' up there with them tonight
'Cause today Marty Robbins died
Today Marty Robbins died
Today Marty Robbins
Died
