Marty Robbins - Hanging Tree (Live Classics From The Grand O)

She Was Only Seventeen
Marty Robbins

She was only seventeen and he was one year more
She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
‘Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more

Are they old enough to know if love will last a life?
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more

Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong

Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
‘Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more

Wonderful song in my favorite. As for Billy Walker, his great voice and singing ability are wonderful and Billy is one of the country singers whom I like most I regrettable the posting to his song is not so many on YouTube. Thank you for nice posting.

thanks for posting, Billy Walker was another great singer, I don't know why but when I listen to that song, and others of him, I guessm how MARTY would have done it...

Billy may have sounded somewhat like Marty Robbins but from the view point of someone who plays music I can say that his sound was truly his own, I only met him in person one time in 1992 and he was a very humble and down to earth person
