Marty Robbins - The Little Box Of Pine On The 7:29 Lyrics
Dear Warden wrote a mother, how much longer must I wait
Before you send my boy back home to me
She little knew the angels had unlocked the prison gates
And the one she loved had already been set free
As with these words the sorrow he replied
There's little box of pine on the seven twenty nine
Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold
For a pardon from above has returned the one you loved
It is the saddest story ever has been told
For he's takin' his last ride never more this world to roam
On his face there is a smile for he knows he's going home
There's a little box of pine on the seven twenty nine
Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold
The church was filled with music as the service did begin
His broken hearted folks were gathered there
The preacher told the story of a boy who'd gone astray
The heavy load his loved ones had to pay.
When he had breathed his sermon the organ softly played
And on their knees the congregation prayed
There's a little box of pine on the seven twenty nine
Bringing back a lost sheep to the fold
For a pardon from above has returned the one you love
It is the saddest story ever has been told.

Marty Robbins The Little Box Of Pine On The 7:29 Comments
One of my greatest musical heroes ever---Mary was the best!
Marty is simply the greatest singer ever just love him thanks for this
Another Great Ballad by the Master Marty Robbins.
Just lovely x
Gotta Love This Gem...Thanks...........bty.............Sid...!!!
Bring me my little box of tissues. A great old song and a bit of a tear jerker. Never heard it before.
The song is 'Southern Dixie Flyer' which came from his 1964 album 'RFD.' The only CD containing the track is on a Bear Family box set. You could always copy the song to your hard drive and then to an mp3 player.
HOW??? I am not computer literate and I do have an mp3 player but don't know how to "down" anything to "hard drive", what ever that is.
I am looking for the words to a song (I’m sure it was sung by Marty) called something like: ‘The Whistle of that Southern Dixie Flyer’. Can anyone help me find it?
7-29 and they cut down the ole pine tree seems to have something in common, I loved them--
God bless the Bear Family!
So fine. *****

The song is only available on a Bear Family box set and a vinyl album called 'Just Me And My Guitar' which was another release by Bear Family.
I simply can not believe the GOLD MINE of Marty Robbins songs you have given me. I thought I knew every one of his songs that he wrote/sang, plus recordings of other writers, BUT (ah yes, the proverbial and dreaded But) YOU have given me so much more and I am glad you have!!! My library of him singing has more than doubled. And that's not even counting the ones put on YOUTUBE by Va HOSS. THANK YOU
Frances
what album is this from? could someone tell me?
Great!
Sad song!
Funny you should say that Steve; one of the best Elvis impersonators was Jimmy Ellis who had an uncanny vocal resemblance to Elvis, but his favourite singer was actually Marty Robbins!
There's enough of the karaoke kings murdering Marty's music on here by the way don't you think?!!
never once seen someone trying to take off marty,seen a million elvis impersonaters but not one marty clone ,is there any?
Have you ever seen/heard Merle Haggard do Marty imitation was fantastic
...he captures your attention in every song..his voice will often be copied but will never be matched..
