Into Bill's town rode an outlaw
He wore his gun low and tied down
He reined in his horse and announced to the crowd

His clothes were all dark and fancy
And topped by a black leather vest
Somebody asked how he came by his name
And if he was one of the best.

In front of him Sundown lay dea-------d

The day the old Ranger stood up to the test
And proved he was best of them all.
