Wow. I just was talking about this because my Grandparents were good friends with him too. My Nana was with the whole country circuit. Loretta Lynn was her mentor and she introduced him to my Grandparents and they became good friends. He was my Dad's Godfather and they named my Dad after him. This song resonates with my family too because my Mom is Mexican and was from El Paso so we joke about all that. I wish I got a chance to meet him but I was only a few years old when he passed. May he rest in peace.

diana solberg hi. Thx for your comment. Great observations on your part re: the structure of El Paso by Marty Robbins. Reason this song has no chorus is because it is a RANCHERO. Rancheros in Spanish are common, rare in English. Essentially, a ballad. Abar shalom.

[@NorthernWisconsinandStuff]

It was 1989 and I was 10 years old when I first heard this song at a Shakey’s Pizza. It was in the game room with all the noise and everything over it. I barely heard a lyric and just remember the shift in his voice. I needed to know the name of the song. I asked everyone if they knew what that song was. Everyone looked at me like I was an idiot. As soon as I got home I started calling radio stations and humming a note or two. All to no avail. The next day I went to the library and no help was available there as well. Thus began a two year journey of me trying to find the name of this bit of song I heard only part of. I finally found it at a little store called The Exclusive Company. They let me listen to every track on the open records. They recommended I start with country. I would listen to a record and skip ahead parts. And then move to the next record. When I finally came upon this song. I was stunned. My life changed when I heard Marty Robbins for the first time. Immediately the best singer I ever heard. And to learn this song had sequels! Now I see Shazam and Google and think wow. But I still look back at my way of searching with fondness.

I was raised listening to this song. It was one my dad's favorites. I grew up on a horse ranch and my dad always carried a Colt 45 revolver strapped to his hip. It was a beautiful remake of the 1800's Navy Colt that some of the gun slingers back then carried. Including the saddle leather gun belt he had custom made for it. My two brothers and I all also carried guns as soon as he was satisfied we were responsible enough to do so. It was a nessesity due to the wildlife we had to deal with from time to time like Cougars, rattlesnakes, and wild boar just to name a few. I'll never forget my 12th b-day because my dad gave me a Winchester 30/30 rifle that had been in our family for 3 generations. I always carried it anytime I went out on horse back, doing fence checks, or riding as a look out/security when riding along side people who were renting horses. I became a great shot to. But I had a great teacher. My dad was a former Marine Corp DI. So I learned a lot of things before I was 10. It also helped me with the career I would later be grabbed up right out of college. But back to this song and the irony of it being one his favorites. I'm sure my dad had no idea whenever he listened to it that one day in fact it would actually be a bullet fired from somebody's gun that would end his life. It's a long story how it happened, but everytime I hear this song it reminds me of him and forever will. RIP dad, miss you. 🙏🇺🇲

Albums like this inspired the Jamaican "badman" culture

[@adixon65]

My personal favorite song of all time hands down. The lyrics/story, background guitar, and of course Marty's voice truly combine to become greater than the sum of their parts. No song has ever begged for a video more, yet it is so easily seen just by listening to it without one.

[@lisaliddicoat6175]

My mom had this album and I remembered this song and just had to hear it. Bless you my mother in heaven this is for you. ❤

Marty Robbins had the most melodic, crystal clear, authentic voices ever. Although Marty is gone now, his voice and this song will live on.

Unfortunately in real life the actor who played Heisenberg is a limp wrist Hollywood liberal and has more in common with his Seinfeld character then any romanticized outlaw .

[@lgaytan65]

You know a song like this beauty is a CLASSIC when you can still play it 60 years later & still sound just as good. If this gorgeous melody would be released today, it would still be a great hit. Wow, Mr. Robbins really nailed it on this one! Thank you!

[@Caleb-p5q]

He wasn't a musician, he was a story teller

[@n6vfp]

I remember this song. My family was on a cross country trip. This came on the radio in our 1959 Plymouth as we entered the city of El Paso. It was December 1959.

[@RoseSwallow-zu8ex]

I first heard "El Paso" when I was 9 yo - I am now 73 and this is still my favorite singer and my favorite song.

[@izasana47]

@@RoseSwallow-zu8ex My grandma used to play this and Johnny Horton. I'm mainly rock and roll but I love Marty Robbins since I was a little kid. I love ALL great music, wide variety of music. Depends on what mood I'm in. Oh yeah that "You haul 16 tons and what do you get/Another day older and deeper in debt" I forgot the name of the artist. I think it's Ernest someone. That's another great song

[@julymorning09]

Exactly when I first heard it, and I too am 73. The artists of 16 Tons was Tennessee Ernie Ford.

My grandfather died this week, I'm getting ready to head to his funeral. My fondest memory of him is sitting at the dinner table a few years ago, we were smoking, Mom was there. After a long pause in conversation, grandpa started singing this song, Mom knew it, and I was fortunate enough to know it due to a love of playing Fallout. The three of us, three generations sat there smoking and singing El Paso for a few verses. I've got about 7 hours before the funeral and I honestly just want to sit here, and smoke and sing El Paso. RIP Roger Riddle, 9.16.1946 - 6.5.2024

[@mylyloy]

I’m sorry for your loss. My daddy introduced me to Marty Robbins’ music. He is 85. I love it. Never played Fallout so I don’t know about that as I’m probably old enough to be your mother. You’ll see your grandpappy again. ❤

My mom used to drive me bonkers playing her Marty Robbins vinyl and Freddy Fender, but now I love them and was able to hang on and preserve all of my parents old vinyls...and quite the eclectic collection I possess. *sigh*

[@dshawduo]

Used to listen on to this on the radio in 1959. I am older than time and my name drives the minds of men to violent insanity. My existence predates matter and thought. I was before anything and I shall exist past everything. Time howls at my presence and life itself is a shadow before me. Great song.

A couple of years after this song was first released I went to Knott's Berry Farm with my mom and sis. We heard the song on the way there, and it turned out he was appearing there that day. Of course he sang it. After his show I got to tell him how much I liked the song, and that I was so surprised (at 6 years old) to have heard him on the radio and got to hear him sing it live the same day. Great song and great memory.
