The Ballad of Maverick
Paul Francis Webster, David Buttolph
Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is his name
Riding the trail to who-knows-where
Luck is his companion
Gambling is his game
Wild as a wind in Oregon
Blowing up the canyon
Easier to tame
River boat, ring your bell
Fare thee well, Annabelle
Luck is the lady that he loves the best
Traveling 'round New Orleans
Living on jacks and queens
Maverick is the legend of the West
Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name
Riding the trail to who-knows-where
Luck is his companion
Gambling is his game
River boat, ring your bell
Fare thee well, Annabelle
Luck is the lady that he loves the best
Traveling 'round New Orleans
Living on jacks and queens
Maverick is the legend of the West
