Description[edit | edit source]
Haunted by memories of the American civil war, Yuma, in search of inner peace, roams the American West, specifically the Texas Hill Country and the South Texas Plains. He keeps a journal of his adventures and fights injustice where he finds it with a revolver and his dead father's sawed-off double-barreled shotgun.
Theme Song Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Sung by Johnny Cash
"Away, away, away rode the rebel Johnny Yuma.
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 his star,
As he wandered far.
Where the only law,
Was a hook and a draw.
The rebel.
Away, away, away rode the rebel...
Johnny Yuma, was a rebel,
He roamed through the west.
And Johnny Yuma, was a rebel,
He wandered alone.
He searched the land,
This restless lad.
He was panther quick,
And leather tough.
'Cause he figured that,
He'd been pushed enough.
The Rebel.
Away, away away rode the rebel Johnny Yuma.
Johnny Yuma.
Johnny Yuma, was a rebel.
He roamed through the west.
And Johnny Yuma, the rebel.
He wandered alone.
He was fightin' mad,
This rebel lad.
With a dream he hold until his dying breath,
He would search his soul and gamble with death.
The Rebel.
Away, away, away rode the rebel Johnny Yuma.
Johnny Yuma."
