Marty Robbins A Man And A Train

I doubt as a young lad when walking across the Arizona desert to see his idol Gene Autry in his latest sagebrush saga, Marty for one moment thought he would one day in the future be singing the theme songs to big movies like this 1973 Lee Marvin/Ernest Borgnine film directed by Robert Aldrich. Marty's other film title songs include 'The Hanging Tree' and 'Honky Tonk Man' as well as his 'Ballad Of The Alamo' featuring on that film's soundtrack. Strangely, despite his powerful interpretation of this great song Marty only reached the number 40 spot on the country chart

My dad was born in 1914 and remembered the depression years so well.When he was in the national guard and had an allotment to travel from home to camp and back he would sit on a building by the tracks in Fulton,Ky. and jump onto the top of the train and ride to camp up there...just to save that money.

[@georgegonzales2337]

A great early 70's railroad film! Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine were brilliant acting together!

[@timcallahan6368]

I still stay up until ridiculous hours of the morning to watch this film when they air it.

[@jdewitt77]

Why not buy it on DVD? I bought it on VHS many years ago and watched it the other night. First time I had seen it in years and really enjoyed it. Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin were great in this film.

something about this song and this movie makes me cry every-time. Does that make me not a man?

I loved the song, the movie and Marty Robbins.

[@trainman5552]

best train movie that was ever made

no doubt about that

Ernie Borgnine ( God rest his soul! ) was a powerhouse as the sadistic conductor of the No. 19! No one can ride Shack's train without risking his life!

[@cptdave1739]

@@Titan52berg He thought it was going to be an easy film. Took the role right after Poseidon Adventure which he said was the hardest movie of his career. He said second hardest was this one! He was a good man, a true "traveling man"! Thanks Ernie for the memories.

[@BBYGRL76]

My dad LOVED Marty Robbins, this song and a few others we played to a montage of dad's life in photos at his wake, still makes me tear up to listen, but I've heard this song since childhood... On a 8 track... And I love it too!

[@prrj1]

Great song, great actors, great movie! Nothing can compare today!

The only thing from that movie that's still here. 2-8-2 Mikado #19.

You are so right. And I thought I was the only fan of this movie.Glad to see there are so many others.

[@SwindellSteamWorks]

jdewitt77 I'm 18 and will always be a fan to Emperor Of The North.

[@jdewitt77]

Fantastic! You have good taste!

[@HotboxHolton]

Trust me. I think that there are more fans of this movie than unstoppable. :) I haven't seen the movie yet but I am going to watch it soon.

[@Uushilumbu79]

What a great song! It really carries a message, which has become rare in the music industry. "When a train runs out of steam, it's gotta stop But it's a different story, when a man runs out of steam, He still can go a long, long way on nothin' but a dream" Gosh, this is awesome! Thanks so much for uploading!

[@philipweihofen9256]

I actually have a relative who survived and traveled by train during the Great Depression. A very unique life

[@ganimed1976]

Awesome song and great movie. Ernest Borgnine in one of his best roles.

[@blingkid823]

"A-#1!!!!!! A-#1 to Portland on the 19!!!!! it's on the tower I saw it!! he's riding the Shack all the way to Portland!!!" one of the best lines in the whole movie "Sounds like a Ghost story to me....... see you around... Shack.

[@mikeytrains1]

One of the reasons I love the movie is because my uncle tom gave me it on dvd when I was little, being one of the only things I love, as my uncle, I loved him for it, and why it's one of my most favorite movies.

[@donrussell1606]

One of my favorite films. Lee Marvin's performance was exceptional

[@krazi77]

Anyone else listening to this on 4-5-24 for the same reason i am?

[@48alfaone]

Great Song, Great Movie! All that was missing was Humphrey Bogart as a third Bum! In my next life i guess. I love Lee Marvin!

[@grannydyess]

incredible singer was marty robbins. gotta find the movie and watch it

[@gwenprice6649]

You can get it from Amazon!

Can't go wrong with a song about a train!

[@thorstene.626]

After such a long time, I still get goosebumps from this song.....

[@BazookaTooth707]

“He still can go a long, long way on nothing but a dream” This line rings the truest for me. I recently lost my home to a wildfire here in Northern California and there’s nothing but dreams/ambitions holding me up.

Marty could sure belt out a song when needed to; one of the 20th century’s great vocalists, up there with the very best of all genres.

[@MawaukeeWiscansin]

I would sing this song to my grandma constantly as a child. Born in 93. Great song.

[@ganimed1976]

A great movie with great actors, a great story, great pictures and an awesome soundtrack. What a shame I´d never saw this movie in the theater.......this must have been an unforgetable event.

[@brettelmerelmer3061]

Ever notice how the songs with the best and strongest messages got the least play? I don't think I ever heard this one on the radio. Have writers given up on the uplifting messages?

I really need to find my dvd copy of this movie, saw it 11 years ago when I was 10 and loved it. Emperor of the North shows a level of manhood and strength and perseverance against insurmountable odds lost with my generation and the generation before it.

[@kenschiavo191]

"You'll never be Emperor of the North Pole Kid" Classic movie, great song, better message. Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin - we'll never see anyone like those two again.

[@stuartadamsrailfanningvideos]

This song is dedicated to the late Dick Samuels of the Oregon Pacific Railroad in Portland, Oregon.

[@tarquin45]

I actually bought the DVD of this movie today. I was somewhat taken aback to see on the back listing 'A Man And A Train' sung by Bill Medley. Ye Gods! How a film company can make a mistake like this heaven knows.

A man and a train, a train and a man They both tried to run as far And as fast as they can But a man's not a train and a train's not a man A man can do things that a train never can Goin' up a mountain even half way to the top The minute that a train runs out of steam it's gotta stop But it's a different story when a man runs out of steam He still can go a long, long way On nothin' but a dream Goin' cross the country when a train runs out of track It has to stop and turn around and then start headin' back But many miles from nowhere out where all the tracks are gone A man who's got himself a dream Can still keep goin' on So don't try to stop me Don't try to stop me cause nobody can I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me a man No don't try to stop me Don't try to stop me cause nobody can I've got a dream, a beautiful dream and that makes me Makes me a man

muito bom gostaria de poder ver nova mente esta filme

[@msinthrop]

@tarquin45 Originally the film had a different film score with Medley included. For reasons unknown to me he was replaced and Robbins song was added. There is a new cd floating around that has Medleys original music..

[@helenshields2619]

msinthrop I've heard Medleys version...slow, non emotional and boring. Marty's voice is so amazingly powerful on this song that you feel the power and emotion he puts into it. You just want the song to go on and on. Wow what a voice

[@helenshields2619]

Bill Medley of Righteous Bros originally was to do this for movie Emperor orf the North but at last minute they used Martin's version..so much bettet..more feeling..more believable..more POWERFUL. GOOD DECISION (heard Bill's version...boring..slow..non moving)

No, it's okay. It is a great movie and song. If fact, it's a man's movie. I don't think women really understand this movie.

[@gwenprice6649]

This woman really loved it, along with the music!

[@StoriedTreasures]

I first saw that movie when I was real little, catching the classics with my Parents and Grandparents. This song has come to be a 'song of defiance' for me in my adventures through the years. Its near and dear to my heart, and I oft find myself humming or singing it when I cross my towns ol rail line.
