I just saw he had passed. My favorite song that he did. Had chance to meet him in the early 90s. Not just a great singer and entertainer but a truly nice man.
Mom and got to talk to him after he and Waddle Mitchell gave a small show here in Tucson once. I'm glad that after mom died that I got to keep her Don Edwards albums. This is a really good song.
Awesome job Don! I loved Marty Robbins and as a boy would sing this song in front of the family. I thank God that He never gives up on us and that I finally heeded the Master's call. How about you?
Sun Set That sun still sets in the west But that old trail is asphalt now Baked by the sun hot and dry The sounds of hoofs have passed Herds of buffalo graze no more Barbwire strung along The fence post passed like a picket fence As the truck tires whine on The sweetgrass has all but gone The mesquite is tall and thick Prickly Pear covers the prairie The Longhorns have gone A saddle all covered in dust The moth-riddled blanket flaps Riding quirt amiss Old spurs hung on a wall On a post hangs a leather belt With a holster cracked and rotting That old hogleg turned brown Brass all green The lassoing cowboy is no more That broad hat tipped back His shirt sleeves rolled high Jeans rolled double His hair thinned and gray High cheekbones darken Bull hide tough Hand scars a many With eyes squinting A straw chair leaned back Daydreaming No more round ups That last ride was long ago With a rolled cigarette on his lip His words in a low key That sun still sets in the west Barry 4/3/2023

I saw Don preform many times at Copper mountain WestFest, what a treasure. RIP high on a mountain.
Don Edwards and Marty Robbins are two country legends I will always love no matter how distant I become from country music
This is just his voice and guitar. He was an AMAZING artist.
You nailed it, my friend! Sing it to the Savior now. RIP Don🙏

Thank God when you get a chance to see what you were and. Change your life.
I played his records all the time as a kid. Then I grew up and learned about history. I still slove Marty. The "Master", not so much.
@@hadmatter9240 Try Him, you'll love Him too. More and more as you get to know Him. After all, without Him, you would not exist.
RIP. He and Marty Robbins were the top two cowboy musicians, imho.
I loved marty Robbins singing this great song
Even as a non-believer, it's still a really good song.
I'll tell you what's the truth, ol' Marty Robbins would be proud of the way this fine gentleman performed his song. I like me some Don Edwards!

Sun Set
That sun still sets in the west
But that old trail is asphalt now
Baked by the sun hot and dry
The sounds of hoofs have passed
Herds of buffalo graze no more
Barbwire strung along
The fence post passed like a picket fence
As the truck tires whine on
The sweetgrass has all but gone
The mesquite is tall and thick
Prickly Pear covers the prairie
The Longhorns have gone
A saddle all covered in dust
The moth-riddled blanket flaps
Riding quirt amiss
Old spurs hung on a wall
On a post hangs a leather belt
With a holster cracked and rotting
That old hogleg turned brown
Brass all green
The lassoing cowboy is no more
That broad hat tipped back
His shirt sleeves rolled high
Jeans rolled double
His hair thinned and gray
High cheekbones darken
Bull hide tough
Hand scars a many
With eyes squinting
A straw chair leaned back
Daydreaming
No more round ups
That last ride was long ago
With a rolled cigarette on his lip
His words in a low key
That sun still sets in the west
