A western is a genre of film or Tv show that tells stories set in the American Old West, usually in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. This genre is considered one of the most classic and timeless genres in film history. These films typically feature a lot of action, adventure, and violence, as well as themes of honour, morality, and redemption.

One of the most iconic and defining aspects of westerns are the music and songs used in them. These songs often set the tone and atmosphere for the film, and can often be just as memorable as the film itself.

Popular Lyrics

Rawhide

Show Full Lyrics

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, though the streams are swollen, keep them dogies rollin’, Rawhide! Rain and wind and weather, hell-bent for leather, wishin’ my gal was by my side.

All the things I’m missin’, good vittles, love and kissin’, are waiting at the end of my ride. Move ’em on, head ’em up, head ’em up, move ’em on, move ’em on, head ’em up, Rawhide!

Justified

Show Full Lyrics

On this lonely road, trying to make it home. Doing the right thing with a heart of stone. In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky, that’s the place where I trace my bloodline.

Long hard times to come. You better get your things and run. I see the star of the law and it’s shining on me. You’ll never leave Harlan alive.

Wyatt Earp

Show Full Lyrics

I’ll tell you a story, a real true life story, a tale of the Western frontier. The West was a-runnin’ with many a gunman, and the law was the one thing they’d fear.

Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp, brave courageous and bold. Long live his fame and long live his glory, and may he be remembered as long as we’re told.

Gunsmoke

Show Full Lyrics

(Spoken Intro): I’m that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It’s a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful… and a little lonely.

(Music: Composed by Rex Koury). The theme “Old Trails” became synonymous with the longest-running Western in TV history.

Yellowstone

Show Full Lyrics

(Instrumental Theme) Composed by Brian Tyler. The theme utilizes a haunting cello and sweeping orchestral arrangements to evoke the vast, beautiful, and dangerous Montana wilderness and the legacy of the Dutton family.

Deadwood

Show Full Lyrics

(Instrumental Theme) Composed by David Schwartz. The theme features a gritty, fiddle-heavy sound that perfectly captures the lawless, mud-soaked atmosphere of the gold-mining camp.

Walker, Texas Ranger

Show Full Lyrics

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger had better know the truth of wrong from right. ‘Cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you, any wrong you do he’s gonna see.

When you’re in Texas, look behind you, ’cause that’s where the ranger’s gonna be. (Sung by Chuck Norris).

Maverick

Show Full Lyrics

Riverboat ring-your-bell, fare-thee-well, Annabelle. Luck is the lady that he loves the best. Natchez to New Orleans, livin’ on jacks and queens, Maverick is the legend of the West.

He’s bound to keep on movin’, movin’ on. He’s a gambler, he’s a rambler, and he’s bold!

Hell on Wheels

Show Full Lyrics

(Instrumental Theme) Composed by Gustavo Santaolalla. Known for its raw, percussive drive and banjo-infused melody, it reflects the grit and industrial weight of the transcontinental railroad construction.

Davy Crockett

Show Full Lyrics

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, greenest state in the land of the free. Raised in the woods so he knew every tree, kilt him a bar when he was only three.

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier! Fought single-handed through the Injun War till the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store.

Daniel Boone

Show Full Lyrics

Daniel Boone was a man, yes, a big man! With a giant of a land, with a giant of a soul. From the coonskin cap on the top of his head to the heel of his rawhide shoe!

The ripple of a lake, the blossom of a tree, the many common things that a common man can see. He’s the rippin’est, roarin’est, fightin’est man the frontier ever knew!

The Rifleman

Show Full Lyrics

(Instrumental Theme) Composed by Herschel Burke Gilbert. The theme is famous for the rapid-fire rifle shots (twelve in total) that open the show, punctuated by a heroic, brass-heavy melody.
