Robbins, Marty - The Bend In The River Lyrics

The best Country Singer of my generation, so underated.

This song would have made a great theme for the James Stewart film 'Where the River Bends' from 1952. Sadly, the song came somewhat later.

The very best western ballad singer ever and my favorite singer always

love this people who dont like this certainly have no music sense

beautiful song from the best ever singer nobody comes close to him marty is the best

Arizona.
Magic land that has given us so much talent.

marty never made a bad song I've loved everything he has done

beautiful singing as usual from the great marty thanks

past the first bend in the rivoooooo

Keep on riding cowboy,
because that's the way of it.

Marty was a true blue American treasure.

yeahhhhhhh..... it is

Utterly sublime.

What can be said but the true Master of this genre of Americana

Beautiful songs by a truly great singer, never to be forgotten xx

This song makes me shiver quite literally! Love it and love Him too thank you America for the unforgettable man! I listened to him when I was little at my Dad's knee,he was a massive fan and was lucky enough to get to see him in Wembley London when he came over hear in the early 70s. Listening to him brings me my Daddy back to me ! (We had El Paso played at his funeral) even my cat was called Marty😊 Anyway thanks once again for Mr. Robbins x Bill got there just before sunset it still hung like fire in the sky, in just a few moments out there in the street old Bill or the outlaw would die.......🇺🇸🇬🇧

Like you granny, I never tire of listening to and watching this outstanding, but underrated artist of the 20th century. A voice of beauty and a man of almighty all round talent.

no offense but im 73

no matter what he sings or how many time i hear his voice i get chills down my back. no other will ever sing like marty. he is missed. rip.marty

I have lived this song. Beautiful.

One of my favorite songs from Marty, really a wonderful and underrated masterpiece. Still can picture the song as I did when I heard it for the first time. What a beauty!

Robbins was a great talent who wrote and sang some of the greatest songs of his time. Too bad Marty is almost forgotten here in the 21st century. This is an obscure masterpiece that should have been one of his biggest hits. One of the prettiest folk songs ever written.

Soft as velvet and smooth as satin.... What a voice he had!

@7466309change ...I was born and raised in Kentucky and lived in Michigan for six years. When I moved to El Paso...and then on to New Mexico, I thought I wasn't going to care much for the desert. That was 16 years ago after I retired from the Army...and i have grown to love the mountains, the cactus, roadrunners and coyotes. It sure does grow on you.

awesome always. my fav singer forever

What a lovely song, it's so wonderful from Marty...

one of my all-time favorite recordings. .

thanks tarquin 45 A good caliber !! when marty says in the cottonwood then you see cottonwoods & mourning dove NICE BLEND! nice picts. it a GREAT POST your saddle pal 1uptospeed

This song and Man Walks Among Us were two of my favorite Marty songs when I was young. He had quite a way with words especially about what he lived. Now that my hair is gray it was nice to hear these songs again and be reminded of another time. I could always imagine being at the place Marty was singing about..Thanks for letting us hear a great singer and poet.

great song

What a voice! What a legend! Hopefully him and Freddy Fender run into each other now and then. Love them both!!!

was this song used in the james tewart movie of the same name. once again a great marty song.
