Rebel Theme Song Lyrics
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
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 Johnny Yuma
