ENJOY!

I can't listen to it right now.  (at a hospital and didn't bring earbuds)  Which Marty Robbins ballad is it based on, Big Iron?  Mr. Shorty? :)

Big Iron.

While I'd like people to help Kyle lay low, that was awesome. Great alternate lyrics! 

AR on a Sling Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the town of old Kenosha marched some troubled rogues one day
Held hammers high above their heads, and looking for a fray
No one dared to ask their business, no one dared to make a din
'Cept for one young man among them with an AR on a sling
AR on a sling

[Verse 2]
In this town, there were some outlaws bound to teachings of the Red
Many soy boys were among them, as were trannies overfed
They were vicious, prone to violence, burning gas stations and more
And their leader rode a skateboard rolling swiftly on the floor
Swiftly on the floor

[Verse 3]
Now the young man started talkin', made it plain to folks around
He was there to stop the mob from burnin' businesses to ground
Didn't look like much the tough guy, 'cept for one important thing
And the thing, of course, an AR riding tautly on a sling
Tautly on a sling

[Verse 4]
Now the night was passing quickly as the mob moved wielding flame
And the youth called out to halt them as they spotted him as game
He was running down the pavement, when a lout caused him to trip
And tempted the soy leader with a skateboard on his hip
Skateboard on his hip

[Verse 5]
It was over in a moment as the folks gathered around
The skater sought the rifle as the youth lay on the ground
Oh, he might've went on livin', but forgot one major thing
And he fell down, shot dead by the kid with an AR on a sling
AR on a sling

[Outro]
AR, AR
He fell down, shot dead by the kid with an AR on a sling
AR on a sling

Thank you!  I'm listening to Marty sing it in my head as I read the lyrics

[Andiron]

Decent parody.

I like this one better.

When I was on the boat in the early 70's I bought a Janis Joplin double album. When I opened it up it had one Janis Joplin record and the other was Marty Robbins cowboy songs. I called it a win and kept it.

Just bragging: my wife and I have a copy of the "Gunfighter Ballads" record album, with a nice, clean album cover. Found it in one of the local thrift shops or discount shops for just a few bucks.

Thanks.  It's not me, my dad is back in the hospital; scheduled to be released in a week.  I am just taking turns with my mom and occasionally my daughter sitting with him.

They are still cutting it new my album was brand new in the wrapper. Fallout New Vegas brought it back into popularity because Big Iron was played on the in game radio.

 oh! i know jack chit about that stuff, the only  "game"  i ever played was a long time ago, i decided to get good at a game called AREA 51 in a local arcade... sometime last century - it was and will remain the only thing like that i ever do

I knew it was re-popularized by a game - had no idea they were pressing more records.

I came across an article a while back that said there is now more music being sold by record album than by download. (Streaming, obviously, is more common than either.)

Yeah, it's amazing. Amazon had tons of turntables for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year.

Some years ago I bought my parents one of those retro phono/CD/USB/radios in a 1940's style wooden cabinet. I have it now and play albums in it all the time. I kept most of the Albums I collected as a kid (Columbia House, baby!) and also have a bunch of old time albums, including 78s, that my parents owned.

I got my wife one of the record player/bluetooth speaker combos a few years back. She's a Gen X hipster, so...

Wife’s birthday is in a couple days this year I got her one of those units because she kept mentioning them every time we passed a display of them in a store. Gave it to her as an early present and we found all the record stores in the area on Black Friday and she was able to pick up several albums, some used. That’s when I got my Marty Robbins album lol.

Thrift store records be cheap.
