I remember this song from the spring of 1970 [No 1 for 3 weeks BBC Charts], although I was just 11 at the time. Along with Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water it kept the Beatles last single - Let it Be - off the No 1 slot. This was Lee's only record, but he was not really a singer, he was a Western actor, but this song is from his musical western Paint Your Wagon. I seem to remember that the B side was by another normally non-singing Western actor Clint Eastwood from the same film. Perhaps this single was released prior to the release of the full soundtrack album of the film. I did not get to see Paint your Wagon for nearly another decade, when I, by then a young adult, visited relatives in London on New Year's Day 1980 and it was shown on TV that afternoon.

I have loved this song all my life. Love Lee Marvin too. An unaffected down to earth real man and a decorated veteran. I guess this is my themevsong too, I am a veteran, 69 this year and been to more countries than my age. I still wake up every day with the travel lust, i ride motorcycles every week ( I keep two).

Funny story.. My grandpa loved lee Marvin (particularly this movie too) and all the classics like gene autry, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, etc. my grandpa passed away some time ago and I have named my son after him; his name is Gene.
