Lyrics for Jimmy Martinez by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | The Drifter | | Track: | Jimmy Martinez | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 88 | | | | Lyrics: | The story began in Renosa
A village in old Mexico
A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were
sweethearts, a long time ago
They made big plans for a wedding
The town of Renosa would
go
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
Married to Sarah Sero
Oh-oh-oh
One
day there came a message
It said that Jimmy must go
As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
To
fight at the Alamo
He never returned to Renosa
The story's been told and retold
How
Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the Alamo
Oh-oh-oh
Jimmy's last letter to
Sarah
Began with a message like this
Oh dear one how sweet is the memeory
The memory
of our parting kiss
I send my heart in this letter
I pray to the one up above
Oh
Sarah, don't ever forget me
Stay just as pure as the dove
Oh-oh-oh
I'm like the
dove in your window
It's chosen just one mate for life
And you are the one I have
chosen
The one that I want for my wife
He never returned to Renosa
The story's been
told and retold
How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the
Alamo
Oh-oh-oh
Sarah refused to believe them
She prayed for Jimmy's
return
And there ever night in her window
A small little candle would burn
Years
turned her dark hair to silver
She prayed for Jimmy so long
Then one night the village was
saddened
The light in her window was gone
