I'll tell you a story, a real true life story
A tale of the Western frontier
The West, it was lawless, but one man was flawless
And his is the story you'll hear

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,
Brave, courageous and bold
Long live his fame and long life his glory
And long may his story be told

When he came to Kansas, to settle in Kansas
He planned on a peaceable life
Some goods and some chattel, a few head of cattle
A home and a sweet loving wife

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,
Brave Courageous and bold
Long live his fame and long live his glory
And long may his story be told

Now, he wasn't partial to bein' a marshal
But fate went and dealt him his hand
While outlaws were lootin' and killin' and shootin'
He knew that he must take a stand
Oooh-oooh-oooh, Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp
Long may his story be told





CLOSING CREDITS:

Well he cleaned up the country, the old wild west country
He made law and order prevail
And none can deny it, the legend of Wyatt
Forever will live on the trail

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,
Brave Courageous and bold
Long live his fame and long live his glory
And long may his story be told
Long may his story be told
