- Here's Marty singing a great old traditional cowboy song and another written by two of the Glaser Brothers, Tompall and Jim.
This is one of two versions of 'Work' sung by Marty which somehow missed inclusion on any of his Western albums until Bear Family found them in the vaults. 'Five Brothers' is a Western song of the highest standard with a great storyline that surprisingly never made the upper echelons of the Country music chart even though it reached 74 in the Pop chart. It was coupled with 'Ride Cowboy Ride' in the States; what a great double sided record that was.
My father used to sing this when I was a kid. I always used to cry. I haven't heard this song in 50 years. It still makes me cry. Love you, Daddy.
My mom sang that song since I was a very young girl , I sang it to my grandkids , and now to my great grandkids !
Marty is simply the greatest singer ever just love him
It is amazing to me that this song is still sung around the cowboy gatherings and that in the past year I received at least three recent recordings of it. The song is 125 year and more old and still being sung and recorded. What a legacy.
Thank you for background on these songs, I collect Cowboy songs and stories.
The master of this kind of song & singing, none have done it better & now, sadly nobody, ever will...Our loss.
What a song, sung by the greatest, and written by two miore of the greatest!
This was given at my Grandfather's funeral in the 1940's. He was an old cowboy...
Thank you. I’m watching an old western and this tune played. I’ve loved a long time and just wanted to hear it. Well this showed up first. It far exceeded what I remembered of it. I liked the guitar work. And Marty is an longtime favorite.Thank You.
This song is based on the poem "After the Roundup" written by Miles City, Montana cowboy D. J. O'Malley and published in the the Miles City newspaper in 1888. It entered oral traditon as a popular recitation and was set to music several times earlier that the Carl Sprague version which came out in 1925. There are several additional verses. Sprague's version was the first 78 record to sell in the large numbers it did. D J. O'Malley never received any roayalties from the poem/song.
I really liked an actor named J. Pat O´Malley, man the ole SOB wuz good & I mean GOOD !
I can't believe how many have written that their dad's had sung this song for them. I thought I was the only one! I used to ask him to sing this for me (must have been in the early/mid 50's) and I would start crying after about the first line.I don't recall ever hearing it on the radio or a recording of it in our home. Funny thing, my dad wasn't really a singer, so I don't know what possessed him to sing this to me in the first place. I thought it was the saddest song I'd ever heard. When he sang it, it sounded a lot sadder than it does on these recordings. I am crying right now after listening to it and just remembering my sweet dad who has been gone now for 20 years. Something just made me think of this song and want to look up the lyrics and I found this recording.
I'm writing this 2 years after your posting. My father was from Vankleek Hill Ontario and learned to sing this song from a 1928 rendition of it by Marc Williams the Cowboy Crooner. Dad sang it at a talent show held at the little oneroom schoolhouse he attended at the time. Needless to say, he later taught the song to me and I sang it as a little boy growing up! It makes me feel so good to know that this quaint little cowboy song has such a long bloodline. Thank you for sharing your story and know that I tear up every time I hear it as well. It has been almost 30 years since Dad passed but this song keeps him alive in my ❤.
i`v heard this song sung as long as can remember still enjoy it. i`m 73
Dad was a romantic, a Nebraska cowboy, and this was his favorite. He'd sing it when we drove long distances. I can hear him sixty years later. This is the way he would have preferred to die, rather than some damned heart attack.
Beautiful voice.The greatest ever ....❤😊
I was just a kid when I first heard Marty Robbins I was living in Carlton first song I heard of Marty was El Paso I was warp in that song and Marty Robbins great sing song writer
You are absolutely right - I have the poem in a very old book that used to be my mother's. She loved The Last Roundup and said it made her cry when she was a child. Thanks for sharing this.
my Dad sang this all the time when I was little (late 50's) and we were rideing somewhere in our car, think he sang a older, slower version tho, but anything Marty sings is wonderful
well it is impossible to find anyone in any field that is betterthan marty
Here in NH we have a square dance done to this song. Love the tune !
hi I was born in1938 dad played the fiddle mother sang country an d yodeled the first song i remember was when the work all done this fall ....this many years later im still picken and grining country what a way to go/////
my dad used to sing this to me when just a little one ,80 now, wado for posting
My dad would only sing this when his two boys and their best friend was there. He'd sit us on his lap and go through the versus. At the end, we'd all be bawlin' our eyes out and he'd suddenly stand up dumpin' us all out on the floor. Years later, my brother said that dad always sang Bill (me) you take my saddle and Greg (my brother) you take my bed and Joe (out friend) you take my pistol. ...50 years later Greg told me that he always had a tinge of jealousy when he only got "bed." He wanted the "pistol" or at least the "saddle," but nope, he always got the bed.
great as always. thanks for posting
i love this song thank you for posting :)
Thanks!
Great!
wonderful rendition
my dad used to sing it too and many more sad ones
Only song my dad sang
This song, as sung by Carl T. Sprague was the very first hit Cowboy record back many many years ago :-) It's based on a piece of Cowboy Poetry by D.J. O'Malley.
My dad sang this song to us four girls when we were little. Must have been a "dad" song!
so col i think this is awsome
Is there a cowboy song out there that is not depressing?
tarquin how are you? you are in my prayers .
The era of the true cowboys, the long cattle drives up the Chisholm Trail to the railheads in Kansas lasted only 20 years from 1868 to 1888 but gave birth to America's myth of the Wild West. Thank God.
