Robbins, Marty - The Way Of A Hopeless Love Lyrics






Why did you have to care about me
And make your plans for just we two
Well, my heart's now pledged to another
How can I ever have just you

This is the way of a hopeless love
Hopeless, dear, for you and me
I cannot hurt the one I'm pledged to
That's why I never can be free

I pledged my life before I met you
Before you made me love you so
I cannot break vows that are sacred
Although it hurts to let you go

This is the way of a hopeless love
Hopeless, dear, for you and me
I cannot hurt the one I'm pledged to
That's why I never can be free

You must try, dear, to forget me
I must forget you too, it seems
But in years to come should we remember
Let rememberance be just pleasant dreams

This is the way of a hopeless love
Hopeless, dear, for you and me
I cannot hurt the one I'm pledged to
That's why I never can be free

  1. b.... ....

    Beautiful voice

  2. B.... 1....

    Sounds like something i would listen in fallout new vegas

  3. K.... K....

    Martys greatest song and thats saying something thanks,Keith

  4. s.... p....

    Sixty years later I have yet to grow tired of this song..the highest accolade any song could garner

  5. N.... A....

    The singer died with goodbye from his lover...
    but Walter died alone

    breaking bad forever
    W.W r.i.p

    N.... A....

    fuck breaking bad

    N.... A....

    I must cumm in rose's backdoor😭

  6. T.... ....

    Since 1994 when I was little dressed up as a cowboy until I get old.

  7. S.... ....

    This song parallels with Walter White’s story in so many ways.

    S.... ....

    Sullyhogs could u elaborate ?

    S.... ....

    ceiling titty Sure! See, the gunslinger in the song symbolizes Walt. Before the cancer, he was a really nice guy who loved his family and was passionate about science. Just like the gunslinger, Walt falls in love with something that he knows is evil and would change him: making methamphetamine. He said in the final episode, “I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it, and I was really... I was alive.” In the gunslinger’s case, he fell in love with a woman that he considered to be a witch and would cast a spell on him. Verse two of the song says, “Blacker than night were the eyes of Feleena/Wicked and evil while casting her spell/My love was deep for this Mexican maiden/I was in love, but in vain, I could tell.”

    After this verse in the song, a stranger comes into the saloon and starts flirting with the gunslinger’s new love, and he immediately becomes jealous and kills this stranger, meaning that this woman has changed him just like he thought she would. Walt’s case is very similar. Cooking meth starts to turn Walt into a much more sinister man, who becomes overprotective towards his business, and would kill anyone if it meant the safety of what he loved. Now, who might represent the flirting stranger in the song is hard to tell. Could be Gus Fring, Tuco, or hell, even Jesse Pinkman, but I personally think it’s the pressures of his everyday life and his innocence before his cancer. He killed those things once he started cooking, so he could finally focus on doing something that he considered to be special. In the El Camino movie, Walt says to Jesse (in a scene that takes place around season 2 of Breaking Bad), “You're really lucky, you know? You didn't have to wait your whole life to do something really special.”

    Of course, the actions of both the gunslinger and Walt can’t go without consequences. Both of these characters are forced to leave the respective places where they live (El Paso for the gunslinger and New Mexico for Walt) in order to escape the law, but both eventually come back after a certain amount of time because they wanted to see what they love again, though Walt also had a score to settle. Back home, they both are killed by gunshot wounds through the chest, and die beside the things which they love. The gunslinger dies beside his beloved Feleena, and Walt dies in a meth lab.

  9. o.... y....

    Makes me happy every time I hear this gem

  12. h.... d....

    Great song for running the hounds on mountain lion and staying at horse camp...

  13. T.... G....

    T.... G....

    Thanks bro. It really put the rest of the story into perspective

  14. S.... ....

    if ever there was a classic this is it.

  15. R.... C....

    I HAD BUT ONE CHANCE AND THAT WAS TO RUN.

  16. O.... ....

    Admiral Good Boy eat a cock

    N.... E....

    no fuck that stupid shit show. Enjoy Marty Robbins or fuck off

  19. J.... D....

    Shocked by the foul, evil deed I had done--why is this line a ghost you can't hardly see or hear in this ballad? Just the idea that evil doers can have remorse in the very moment following a foul deed is anathama to the powers paid to punish rather than heal a sinner. After all, such powers have no power to heal anyone or anything, and can only cure by confinement and or the killing of killers.

    J.... D....

    Jerry D'Arezzo True evil doers do not feel remorse. Psychopaths don’t feel empathy. Serial killers LOVE what they do! That’s why they do it so often.

  20. T.... H....

    Thank You

  28. j.... ....

    I love El Paso. Visited 3 years ago, fell in love with the place. I miss those mountains, the gray squirrels and lizards darting about, and those cheap shops by the border.

    j.... ....

    Don't forget the rattlers, went hiking up in the mountains and came across the biggest Western diamondback I've ever seen. Keep mind you I live on the east coast and we have the Eastern diamondback which is much heavier and longer. But this rattler was huge it was 9 ft long.

    Shit what can I say your in our hearts

    K.... T....

    Guilherme Pothin what a lad

  38. J.... C....

    Remember as a very young kid listening to this song with my grandfather. Can't believe I stumbled back upon it.

    J.... C....

    I can relate to that. Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins and John Denver was what my grandpa and I listened to going fishing or hunting. Good memories

  39. D.... S....

    This is the epitome of Western music that was rolled into Country and Western music, and then finally Country. It is a distinct kind of music all its own.

    D.... S....

    Can you give me more artists/songs like this? I love Marty Robbins and this kind of music but it's hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for.

    D.... S....

    @Piotr Skowronski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_music_(North_America)#List_of_Western_singers

    D.... S....

    Such an intelligent comment!

  40. D.... T....

    I like the country western feel, especially in films, and I feel like the just don't make alot of wild west movies anymore. I guess the market was uber saturated in the 50s-60s and people got bored, like in Toy Story when Woody gets replaced with Buzz Lightyear. But I've got the hankering for some ye olde epic revenge tales

    D.... T....

    Dennis The Menace that is a great analogie on how this type of music came and went

  48. T.... ....

    The epitome of a great classic record. Not only sung so movingly and dynamically by one of the 20th century's greatest vocalists Marty Robbins, but given a wonderful accompaniment by the great Grady Martin. This song will still be playing in 2119 and forever.

    That's a damn fine story. Well done.

    j.... r....

    @Frankie Lucero But are you reading it from a news article? Cause if you are thats low key disrespectful to the city. As a border town we don't need anyone else to help represent us. We are a diverse community of tolerant people. Not savages. So if you are from El Paso, respect that, and chill tf out.

    This is true country music. Better than this modern shit. I love these old western songs. Marty's songs are stories and they're great.

    modern country isn't country at all, it's just "i wanna be country" pop crap labeled as country music

    Imaginary girlfriends can cry?

  92. J.... H....

    This is a great song by a great singer, and of course musn't forget the great writer. Odd though, this version has a verse missing, the one where he mused by the door over what he'd just done.

    J.... H....

    Holy shit there’s a lot of recent comments

    T.... P....

    New youtube policy to make new comment show up by default instead of top comments

    YouTube comments showed newest first for years, "top comments" is just a recent thing, but I set them to show newest first by default. That's how it's supposed to be, plus it cuts way back on a lot of "thumbs up if..." spam and attention whoring.

    My Dad used to listen to this song a lot, had kind of forgotten about it until I watched Felina on BB
