The lyrics were never aired.

Gunsmoke trail.  Oh tell me of days gone by.

Tho' alone you still wind your way?

Are the ghostly horsemen riding,

As they speed eastern mail?

It's up to you see them through Gunsmoke trail.

The Gunsmoke has now faded from the blazing forty-fours!

The stage coach is rustin' on the hill.

The wagon wheels you used to feel, will sing their song no more!

The sound of the caravan is still!  Gunsmoke trail.

No trav'ler to care where you go,

Sands of time are hidin' your way!

Bet if heaven ever let you

You could tell a rugged tale!

That's why I hate to see you fade.

Gunsmoke trail.  Gunsmoke trail.

Dodge City in 1878

Gunsmoke was one of two TV shows that took place in Dodge City, Kansas. The main difference between the two westerns was that Marshall Matt Dillon was wholly fictional, where the hero of the Life And Times of Wyatt Earp was, of course, real.
