Don't think this one has been mentioned:


BEGGING TO YOU
Marty Robbins

I left you this morning--couldn't take any more
You laughed and you dared me to walk out the door
You said that I'd come back; you knew what I'd do
And you know you were right, 'cause I'm back here tonight beggin' to you.

I won't disappoint you; I'm beggin' to stay
But that's what you wanted to hear anyway
It must make you happy to make me so blue
What a pitiful sight I must be tonight beggin' to you

You don't want my lovin' but you let me stay 'round
I guess just to walk on, so you won't touch the ground
To you it don't matter what you cause me to do
As long as you keep me beggin' to you.


I think those are the lyrics. Pretty close anyway.

The whole song really wallows in it. It's great.

I think it was a big hit for him--also used fuzz pedal for one of the first times in pop music. And the fuzz pedal sounds weird.

But it's great fun to sing--especially real loud and sliding around like he does it.
