THE BALLAD OF PALADIN

(Johnny Western / Richard Boone / S. Rolfe)
 

Have gun will travel, reads the card of a man

A knight without armor in a savage land

His [Am] fast gun hire, heeds the calling wind

A soldier of fortune, is a man called --- Pal-a-din

 

Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam

Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

 

He travels on to where-ever he must

A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust

There are [Am] campfire legends that the plainsmen sing

Of the man with the gun, of the man called --- Pal-a-din.

 

Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam

Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home

 

Far from home, far from home.
