Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is his name

Riding the trail to who-knows-where

Luck is his companion

Gambling is his game

Wild as a wind in Oregon,

blowing up the canyon.

Easier to tame

River boat, ring your bell!

Fare thee well, Annabelle

Luck is the lady that he loves the best

Traveling 'round New Orleans,

living on jacks and queens

Maverick is the legend of the West
