"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Until college the only Marty Robbins song I could have identified was El Paso.
Then I worked with somebody who had a cassette of his greatest hits. Among them was Kaw-Liga. The cigar store Indian. Who was stubborn. Because his heart of knotty pine. And sorry to say, it cracked me up. I laughed till I nearly peed myself.
Steve: When I said I loved Marty Robbins, I was thinking of songs like "El Paso" and "Devil Woman". Frankly, I had never heard of "Kaw-Liga" until you mentioned it, so I looked it up, found out it was written by Hank Williams, Sr., and recorded by Charlie Pride, in addition to Williams and Robbins.
I listened to Robbins' version. M'y-e-s, the lyrics are a bit silly.
Good ones all.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid I used to be able to sing every Marty Robbins song.

Yes, for a song that could have been written by Weird Al Yankovic, it has an impressive track record.
