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.
