He's a Lone Ranger

Now he's a US Marshal and a lone ranger
He's a US Marshal and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name

There was a man way out west
Rode 'round this country with a star on his breast
Every white man and an Indian tribe
Knew he was the baddest man that ever was alive

Now he's a US Marshal and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name

Broad-shouldered and six-feet tall
Rode a sort that could outrun them all
A master of a pistol, a master of disguise
Looked every man he caught now dead in the eyes

Now he's a US Marsha and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name

Born a slave down in Arkansas
Lived with his master and his dear old ma'
Mama said, "Son, you ain't free
But you can do anything you want to if the mister don't see"

Now he's a US Marshal and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name

I'll tell you another thing
Master called Bass Reeves to a gambling game
Bass's freedom was the stake that he made
Master cheated, you oughta heard the sound
Of Bass's hoof beats as master hit the ground

Now he's a US Marsha and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name, yo!

You'll hear Bass Reeves break into song
He get down to business, and it won't be long
Whether in Muskoka, a hundred miles around
They call on Bass Reeves, he's bound to track you down

'Cause he's a US Marshal and a lone ranger
He's a lone ranger, Bass Reeves is his name
