Colt .45 Theme Song Lyrics

(composed by Mack David and Jerry Livingston)

(performed by Hal Hopper)

There was a gun that won the west.
There was a man among the best.
The fastest gun or man alive.
A lightning bolt when he drew that Colt... .45.

He carried the message of law and of order,
Into a wicked land.
With a Colt Single Action Army revolver
Blazing from either hand.

There was the right, there was the wrong.
The gun was quick, the man was strong.
And peace was made when they'd arrived.
A lightning bolt when the drew that Colt... .45.

Colt .45.
Colt .45.
Colt .45!

Alternate Version:

There was a gun that won the west.
There was a man among the best.
The fastest gun or man alive.
A lightning bolt when he drew that Colt... .45.

He brought the message of law and order,
To a wicked land,
From Mississippi to the border,
A gun in either hand.

There was the right, there was the wrong.
The gun was quick, the man was strong.
Together they were the law alive.
A lightning bolt when the drew that Colt... .45.

Colt .45.
Colt .45.
Colt .45!
