On the distant horizon a thick cloud appeared!
Could it be?...so near?....a storm danger?
Closer and closer the picture came clearer!
It's the masked man they call the Lone Ranger!

Come lightning, thunder or rain!
the Lone Ranger rides again!
with Tonto an Indian friend...
on Silver a horse he named,

In old...

Ned Kelly, bush ranger.

An Australian bush ranger
Of Irish descent
He roamed through our ranges
With evil intent.

His name was Ned Kelly
He earned so much fame
Teaming up with his brothers
To rob was their game

He killed him, some policemen
There were three of them
And so repercussions 
From this evil did...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto strode into saloon
To get out of the sun and heat of the noon

They stood at the bar; their thirst the beer quenching
When through the doors came a cowboy crashing

He asked in a puff ‘Whose white horse is outside?
He’s down on...

when the booze gets to me and nobody will care,
because of my beard or stink or hair, 
I curl up under the cardboard and fly away,
to a place high up in the air

my brown hands part the partial, tipsy clouds,
hanging together like freshly laundered shrouds,...

Their lived a man once upon a time in Hollywood
Who in peace and war his glory stood
Reaching by far his story could
For he was known to share holy food 
From a holy book in Hollywood

Always alone he used to be
With his broad sword no enemy...

Ranger joe
He always knows
Which way to go
How much to fight
Or what's too slow
Never quit, never surrender
That's the oath
He'll always remember
Who is too weak,
Or which one is strong
He'll cover down
And won't be wrong
He'll sing along with every creed
He will never miss a beat
Nor a bullet, nor...

Riding the quarter slot pony
at Woolworth’s five & dime
Would send this half pint cowgirl
back to another time

I was Calamity Jane riding hell bent
to bring the US mail,
Annie Oakley, with dead eye aim,
shooting lint specks off a nail,

In my games of Cowboy & Indian
everyone would win
The...

I had a dog named Ranger.
His fur was brown and white.
His eyes were full of mystery.
His disposition, a delight!

Whenever I was resting,
he'd climb up on my knee.
He would lick my hand and snuggle in,
while I sat and watched TV.

We were family, for sixteen years,
through good...

Rise Up!
Daylight's a-Burnin'

By the End of this Day
That Varmint Black Bart's

Fixin' to Be Learnin'

Robbing and Murdering Innocent Folks

I'm Fixing to Have You Hang For it 
When All is Said and Done

I'm Gonna Keep On Riding
All Night...

When lifting hair was not a crime
Tonto was ahead of his time
He saw a bald Ranger
Whose mask made him stranger 
A real pandemic paradigm!...

The Tale of Billy Flynn
Billy Flynn looked skyward
As the fire slowly died
The embers dancing gaily
They had a hard days ride

He looked down at the fire
At the coals and their red glow
"Better get them horses covered"
"The clouds are bringing snow"

From the back a voice was heard
"You...
