Marty Robbins - Ribbon Of Darkness Lyrics
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where flowers did bloom and birds would sing
Ribbon of Darkness over me
In this cold room lying
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord, I wish I could be dying
To forget you
How I wish your old heart could see
How mine just takes and breaks all day
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of Darkness over me
Come on back and take away
Ribbon of Darkness over me

Marty Robbins Ribbon Of Darkness Comments
Marty was the greatest country singer (and pop, Tex-Mex, Western, Hawaiian, folk, calypso and standards singer!) ever. I've loved his songs ever since I heard "El Paso" back in the day. More crossover hits than any great country star, and he made everything his own- including this gem by that great Canadian original, Gordon Lightfoot. There are simply no bad covers of Gord's songs, and the guys who got his unique guitar-picking right deserve credit too. Grady also did all the Mexican-style solos on "El Paso" and Marty's other Western/Tex-Mex hits- another Nashville super-sideman. A well-deserved #1 country hit for Marty! BTW- Grady introduced that buzzy-fuzzy guitar style to Music City- by accident!- on Marty's #1 country/Top 5 pop hit "Don't Worry" ('61)...I think he had a broken amp!
I go down to the Longhorn in Tombstone once in awhile to devour their foot long beef dog with all the fixings.. I munch away and watch the horses outside the window and listen to Marty playing in the background... Slurp down a large ice tea.. Heaven........
Love Marty Robbins
what i nice song
This song would fit right in with the folk movement of the sixties.
Amazing. Was lucky enough to see him live in Liverpool many years ago. Maybe late 70's
Marty died at the same age as my dad. Both gone much too soon.
some classic valentine's day shit here
I know it's Gord's song but I prefer Marty Robbins singing it. I don't like the thump thump beat though..
Once I heard that Gordon Lightfoot wrote this, I had to give it a listen, and sure enough, that's his structure all right, if not quite style. More country than folk, that is, although it could be adapted very easily.
caption caption anyone caption anyone?
“They shroud the night when day is done”
Ultimate American Western singer
Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash in my lifetime...What more can you ask?
Best singer ever! He was barefoot and penniless as a child singing for money in the streets of Albuquerque New Mexico.
Make that Glendale (outside Phoenix), AZ! My all-time favorite country singer.

Reminds me of Fallout NV
Marty Robbins sang the song, Big Iron featured in Fallout NV. If you like that, check his whole trail songs album, it's fantastic.

Loved this gentleman's voice. He is deeply missed, but remembered as now here thanks to people posting his music, and I say "Thank You" for doing so.
My dad called and told me about this song
Marty Robbins was the soundtrack for many an imaginary American southwest cowboy movies...I would play them in my mind every time my dad would play his records. What a fine voice he had. Thanks for posting!
1050 WHN New York
This song was written by Gordon Lightfoot. That's Grady Martin playing lead guitar. With Marty's voice it made for an outstanding performance.
Steve Tamayo ...I saw Marty in July before he died in Dec. Can't remember the year. I sobbed😢 What a voice! And what a showman. I miss him & loved him much.💖
