George Thorogood And The Destroyers - The Ballad Of Maverick Lyrics

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?
Maverick is his name.
Riding the trail to who-knows-where.
Luck is his companion.
Gambling is his game.
Wild as a wind in Oregon,
Blowing up the canyon.
Easier to tame.

River boat, ring your bell!
Fare thee well, Annabelle.
Luck is the lady that he loves the best.
Traveling 'round New Orleans,
Living on jacks and queens.
Maverick is the legend of the West.
