Marty Robbins - The Blues, Country Style (Memories In Song)
The city streets are friendless and cold
I walk them mile after mile
I'm a country boy a-singin' the blues
The blues, country style
Nobody stops to tell me hello
Not even one friendly smile
I'm a country boy alone with the blues
The blues, country style
One hundred tears make one city block
Two thousand tears make a mile
I'm a country boy with miles of blues
The blues, country style
Tonight, in dreams, I'm goin' back home
And I'll be happy awhile
But I know at dawn, I wake with the blues
The blues, country style
I'm a country boy a-singin' the blues
The blues, country style
Marty Robbins Sings 'The Blues Country Style.' (02:45)
Mitch Miller and Ray Conniff recorded Marty on this fine Mack David/Jerry Livingston ballad in
Hollywood in 1958. It was the flip side of 'The Hanging Tree', with featured another highly
appealing Robbins performance.
Marty is always wonderful to listen to. This is new for me. Liking it very much. Thanks, Rick.
