| Away, away, away rode the rebel, Johnny Yuma. Johnny Yuma, was a rebel. He roamed, through the west. And Johnny Yuma, was a rebel, he wandered alone. He got fightin’ mad, this rebel lad. He packed his star as he wandered far. Where the only law was a hook and a draw, the rebel. (Away, away, away rode the rebel.) Johnny Yuma, was a rebel. He roamed, through the west. And Johnny Yuma, was a rebel, he wandered alone. He searched the land, this restless lad. He was panther quick and leather tough. Cause he had figured that he’d been pushed enough, the rebel. (Away, away, away rode the rebel.) Johnny Yuma. Johnny Yuma, was a rebel. He roamed, through the west. And Johnny Yuma, the rebel, he wandered alone. He was fightin’ mad, this rebel lad, With a dream he would hold until his dying breath He would search his soul and gamble with death. Away, away, away rode the rebel, Johnny Yuma. When the song was recorded by Johnny Cash the lyrics had a small change in the sixth line: "He packed no star as he wandered far." |
