Johnny Yuma (Theme) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

He came in like the restless wind, Yuma is the name
He′ll be going like a July snow: Following the Sun and
Better watch his gun, man
He's going to be a Rebel ′till the Wild West is tamed


Johnny's slow and easy-going, like a tumbleweed
Had to kill in Albuquerque but justice is his creed
From Texas to the Black Hills come and watch for Johnny Yuma
For the wrong will not succeed

You may find him bedded down with the Buffalo at night
Had a gal in Jackson town that begged him not to fight
But heart and soul is in a rut
To help to calm a stormy land and make a few wrongs right

If you've hurt the innocent, keep your back from the door
Sleep with one eye open, keep a loaded ′44, man
Better watch that right hand
Johnny Yuma′s gone as quick when troubles' at the fore
