He pacAked no star as he wandered far
Where the oDnly law was a hook and a draw.
The rebeAl Johnny Yuma.
Johnny AYuma was a Drebel, he Eroamed through the wAest,
JAohnny Yuma the Drebel, he Ewandered aAlone.
He sF#mearched the land, this restless C#mlad
He was a Apanther quick and leather tough
'Cause he fDigured that he'd been pushed enough.
The rAebel Johnny Yuma.

With a Cdream he'd hold till his dyin' breath,
He'd sFearch his soul and gamble with death.
The rebCel Johnny Yuma.
