And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Looks like Poncho was just shown a positive pregnancy test by Chiquita and while spuring his steed is bellowing: "Hold on to this moment for all time, this is the night I ride. I hear them calling my name".
I was a dishwasher at Rosie's Cantina while in college many years ago. It wasn't the original Rosie's but I still think of those days when I hear the song!
I was just thinking about this song a second ago after seeing a pack of old el paso mini tacos

Music would play, and Felina would whirl...
ReplyDeleteThe sequil song was almost as good
ReplyDeleteHundreds of years from now. This Marty Robbins song should be remembered as the best C&W song ever written and recorded. Beats "Water" by a mile.
ReplyDeleteNow there may be some who claim that "You Broke my Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw" would be in contention but I say otherwise. ;)
C'mon!
DeleteHank Jr. Took care of that.
You Don't Have to Call Me Darlin' Darlin'.
That was David Allen Coe.
DeleteI believe the actual lyrics are " ... Rosa's cantina ..."
ReplyDeleteThere is a Rosa's Cantina in El Paso Great food. Marty Robins knew nothing about the place. Didn't know it existed. From his own biography.
