Jimmy Martinez - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Written by:Ruby Allmond/Marty Robbins[00:00:01]
The story began in Renosa[00:00:08]
A village in old Mexico[00:00:12]
A girl and a Mexican soldier[00:00:15]
Were sweethearts a long time ago[00:00:20]
They made big plans for a wedding[00:00:24]
The town of Renosa would go[00:00:28]
And there would see jimmy Martinez[00:00:31]
Married to Sarah Sero[00:00:36]
Oh oh oh[00:00:40]
One day there came a message[00:00:48]
It said that jimmy must go[00:00:52]
As jimmy was leaving Renosa[00:00:55]
To fight at the Alamo[00:00:59]
He never returned to Renosa[00:01:04]
The story's been told and retold[00:01:07]
How jimmy the Mexican soldier[00:01:11]
Died at the Alamo[00:01:15]
Oh oh oh[00:01:19]
Jimmy's last letter to Sarah[00:01:28]
Began with a message like this[00:01:31]
Oh dear one how sweet is the memory[00:01:34]
The memory of our parting kiss[00:01:39]
I send my heart in this letter[00:01:43]
I pray to the one up above[00:01:46]
Oh Sarah don't ever forget me[00:01:50]
Stay just as pure as the dove[00:01:55]
Oh oh oh[00:01:59]
I'm like the dove in your window[00:02:07]
It's chosen just one mate for life[00:02:10]
And you are the one I have chosen[00:02:13]
The one that I want for my wife[00:02:18]
He never returned to Renosa[00:02:22]
The story's been told and retold[00:02:26]
How jimmy the Mexican soldier[00:02:29]
Died at the Alamo[00:02:34]
Oh oh oh[00:02:38]
Sarah refused to believe them[00:02:46]
She prayed for jimmy's return[00:02:49]
And there ever night in her window[00:02:53]
A small little candle would burn[00:02:57]
Years turned her dark hair to silver[00:03:01]
She prayed for jimmy so long[00:03:05]
Then one night the village was saddened[00:03:08]
The light in her window was gone[00:03:13]
Oh oh oh[00:03:17]
