Marty Robbins - Johnny Fedavo (Under Western Skies Disc 2)
Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
They made a vow that they'd always love each other
For them, on other could be so true
Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo
The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day
God needed someone to brighten his throne
Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone
That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
Sadly, a village laid their rose away
Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him
No arms to greet him or hold him tight
Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it
To take his spirit away that night
The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo
The children grew and people were gay once more
One day they found him with hair snowy white
The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night
Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
Two lovers at last their peace with God have found
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping
Their vows still keeping and both still true
Marty Robbins Singing 'Southern Dixie Flyer.' (03:34)
Joe Babcock wrote a host of fine songs when he worked with Marty, including 'Ghost Train', 'Turn The
Lights Down Low', 'Just A Little Sentimental', 'Won't You Forgive', 'Dusty Winds', 'Doggone Cowboy',
'Johnny Fedavo' and 'Prairie Fire.' The strange thing is that Marty turned down Joe's biggest
selling song 'I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water' that became a big hit for Stonewall Jackson and
Johnny Rivers. Then a certain Elvis Presley recorded it as well!...
After listening to this song, all I can say is that Mary was an underappreciated country singer. He's got a GREAT VOICE with such a range. Great SONG !!
