Robbins, Marty - Jimmy Martinez Lyrics

Marty at his best . takes me back to when ilistened with my dad and now im in my 50s

One time when life don't hurt everybody else on the way out

America

Ai Manne,I'm from South Africa,was there ever a greater star than Marty? I think not. Still listen and enjoy his lovely voice everyday.

never been a wordsmith as good as this guy

I will always love Marty Robbins.

My mother named me after this song. Not only is my name Reynosa, my mom's name is Sarah. No my dad's name is not Jimmy, LOL

What a wonderful song, this marvelous performer sings for everyone , both sides of all stories! Just the best , the best ever, and here I keep finding more and more some I haven't heard for decades , other that are new to me. But you can never mistake the greatest story teller with the clear clean voice , and you can understand every word.

GREAT SONG.

Any teens listening to this in 2019?

This the way he had his background singers with excellent really good Harmony the higher the middle part and the lower part the three part harmony was very nice and you could really say, much like Elvis had which with his Jordanaires in the background doing there good harmonies and the way they sounded really smooth to with Elvis, Marty Robbins and his background singers this was his Jordanaires which was those two guys in the background what a great Trio they were featuring Marty of course I feel personally that Marty Robbins was even better than Elvis as a singer very good performer too, my personal favorite don't get me wrong I think Elvis is more electrifying onstage definitely an excellent good singer but I think Marty was the better overall performer and singer the quality-wise of his voice I think overall Marty had the edge.

For Jimmy he died at the Alamo I'll tell you that Trump he's a beaut no State of the Union message tonight no he's not going to have his State of the Union message day 25 of the wonderful strike the countries in a mess cuz he all border that it in for president you got to stand by me from military though well I hope they don't put them in again I hope we won election again that Hillary gets in I want Hillary net so bad how are you going to make it again 30 window well folks don't forget meant February 8th and 9th whenever it is Cowboy will see you off at the VFW Club and we'll take the mattress and an entirely is Captain Lou Albano so say bye bye for now on democratic we can't spell much but where talking on cellphone bye-bye folks is the Democratic Cowboys and bye bye

You can't even spell. Leave, if you don't like our president. He is standing up for Americans not illegals. U want to talk about politics or the great Marty Robbins?

Bill Haley recorded this for ORFEON records/Mexico

Love Martin robbins..:-)

I love you Marty!!!!

2018..... I’m hearing this for the first time. Don’t know when it came out. When Marty sings...doesn’t even matter!

Play El Deguello he roared, I will show them no quarter, every one will be put the sword!

Santa Anna as his fiery stallion,
blacker than night pranced.

I wish i had had a love like that. didn't pan out i guess.

Something that is old IS something that is new..I've hear lots of Marty tunes.. This is a tune I Have not heard this one before. I really really like country ballads. Reading reaching Billboard Hot only 51 & only 24 on the Country chart. So very underrated. So Sad

AVE. For all the men who fell.
War touches more than the one who fell.

My mom gave me this name as a newborn and I always hated it until My boss played this song for me the other day and after 56 years I love my name.If my mom had ever played this song for me I would have loved this name as I was growing up but sadly I was adopted at age 2 and although moved back when I was 13 for a couple of years yet I still had never heard this song untill this past Monday.Thank you David for giving this beautiful gift of a song to me.I just hate that I had to wait so long to appreciate my name...Renosa Gayle (my mom didn't know how to spell Reynosa correctly) it was the summer of 1961 and was my mom's favorite song.Thank you Moma, I didn't know how special it was

your mum called you jimmy?

Ha ha ha ha too funny. These coments are frequently written so badly that one has to wonder what the meaning was in the first place. Thanks for the laugh Karl. Brief and to the point. @karl Kruger

Gayle White, WOW my mother heard this song when she was in high school and in 1963 when I was born she gave me the name of Reynosa. She too did not know how to spell it, so she looked it up on a map. She gave me Ann as a middle name saying I had one unusual/difficult name and one simple name.
She hadn't heard the song since high school, I found the song bout 6 months ago and played it for her... Funny thing is, Jimmy Martinez love interest was name Sarah and that is my mother's name, (Ann is her middle name, so her and I have that in common). Also like you I was not fond of my name Reynosa, got picked on as a kid and discriminated against as an adult. Mom said I could always change my name, but no, that is what my mother wanted to name me and I do like it now. Since one of my college professors did not like calling me Reynosa, she shortened it to Rey. Since then I have had many aliases over the years. Currently I go by Reyann or just Ray.

What an unparalleled voice! What a charming human being to give space in his art to embrace his Mexico neighbors in dozens or more songs! In America the beautiful has been good people in all times, despite its government on the turn.

Sergio you are so white that your ancestors are most likely from europe. NO one turned on mexicans. We just want legal immigration I am of that heritage but American first bc I was born here. Don't bring politics into it bc I can give you an ear full. Mary Robbins did not marry a mexican he just wrote great ballads. Dont add more than there is.You need to listen to the Ballas of the Alamo. Marty Robbins praised the heroes of the Alamo which were Americans.

love this song really brilliant and sung by the best marty

A comforting  Rhythm

we here on this side of the border think about all ours lost. war takes from everyone fighting. we may have to fight in war. I pray our hearts can stay strong enough to break for all the losed ones. Strong but not hard. Thank you Marty. Have peace in the arms of God. This song let me reclaim my humanity.

If this music was played on the air today, it would be better sales than current music. G.

My name Is Gavyn Gerald Wilson

I wish I was around in the days of Marty

When country music was at its greatest
