BAT MASTERSON
Theme song from the TV Show "Bat Masterson" (1958 - 1961)
(Havens Wray / Bart Corwin)



Back when the West was very young
There lived a man named Masterson
He wore a cane and Derby hat
They called him Bat, Bat Masterson

A man of steel the stories say
But women's eyes all glanced his way
A gambler's game he always won
His name was Bat, Bat Masterson

The trail that he blazed is still there
No one has come since to replace his name
And those with too ready a trigger
Forgot to figure on his lightning cane

Now, in the legend of the West
One name stands out of all the rest
The man who had the fastest gun
His name was Bat, Bat Masterson
