I just saw he had passed. My favorite song that he did. Had chance to meet him in the early 90s. Not just a great singer and entertainer but a truly nice man.
Awesome job Don! I loved Marty Robbins and as a boy would sing this song in front of the family. I thank God that He never gives up on us and that I finally heeded the Master's call. How about you?
Mom and got to talk to him after he and Waddle Mitchell gave a small show here in Tucson once. I'm glad that after mom died that I got to keep her Don Edwards albums. This is a really good song.
Sun Set That sun still sets in the west But that old trail is asphalt now Baked by the sun hot and dry The sounds of hoofs have passed Herds of buffalo graze no more Barbwire strung along The fence post passed like a picket fence As the truck tires whine on The sweetgrass has all but gone The mesquite is tall and thick Prickly Pear covers the prairie The Longhorns have gone A saddle all covered in dust The moth-riddled blanket flaps Riding quirt amiss Old spurs hung on a wall On a post hangs a leather belt With a holster cracked and rotting That old hogleg turned brown Brass all green The lassoing cowboy is no more That broad hat tipped back His shirt sleeves rolled high Jeans rolled double His hair thinned and gray High cheekbones darken Bull hide tough Hand scars a many With eyes squinting A straw chair leaned back Daydreaming No more round ups That last ride was long ago With a rolled cigarette on his lip His words in a low key That sun still sets in the west Barry 4/3/2023
