Lyrics
Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is the name!
Ridin’ the trail to who knows where,
Luck is his companion,
Gamblin’ is his game.
Smooth as the handle on a gun,
Maverick is the name!
Wild as the wind in Oregon, blowin’ up a canyon,
Easier to tame.
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 a legend of the West.
Maverick is a legend of the West.
