Closing Lyrics (there were numerous versions at the beginning of the series):

 

Johnny Yuma, was a rebel,

He roamed, through the west.

And Johnny Yuma, was a rebel,

He wandered alone.

He got fightin’ mad,

This rebel lad,

He packed no star as he wandered far

Where the only law was a hook and a draw,

The Rebel… Johnny Yuma

(Away, away, away rode The Rebel.)

 

 

He searched the land,

This restless lad,

He was panther quick and leather tough

 And he figured that he’d been pushed enough,

The Rebel

(John Yuma

Johnny Yuma)
