Johnny Western Ballad of Paladin lyrics
Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.
He travels on to where ever he must
a chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin
of the man with the gun
of the man called paladin
Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.
Far, far from home.
Far, far from home.
(fade out with trumpeting)

born in the 90''s. Here because of the movie "Stand by Me"
Corey Feldman is the one in teh movie singing it. I love that movie!
I'm glad you like this song" Paladin was a gun for hire but a good guy who only took a job if it was a honest one and or was for the good of mankind. The name of the TV show was Have Gun Will Travel, and still comes on regular tv every morning between 7am-10am not sure the exact time.
Yup
Born in 96 here because I watched westerns with grandpa 🤣
Legacy prime cut 🎉
My wife and are old folks now. We watch Have Gun Will "Travel" in bed until sometimes 3-4 in the morning. I get jealous because she thinks is so cool, which he is. I also watch old Matt Dillion and still think Miss Kitty has eyes from heaven. Thanks, Richard and James Arness for such wonderful memories. And all the rest of many others GOOD KNIGHT AND YOU TO
"Hey Boy"
Good call👍
Clint Walker Cheyenne check it out
@@monaturcott9650 Gunsmoke was soooooo good, the acting, music, story, just wow!
Well said. I am 68 and did not watch this as a kid :-) I was a fan of The Rifleman
Great Song❤ , Johnny Western still with us as of this date: Aug. 30 - 2024
At the Age of 89.
Born: Oct. 28 - 1934.
I just watched 5 episodes in a row on Pluto TV Have Gun Will Travel channel.
Totally badass! Tears 2023! Old vet here… I don’t usually cry
The character Paladin is IMO one of the best western created parts I’ve ever watched. A dandy and a cowboy. An expert gun slinger and brilliant mind. The song was great too.
Whoa, that French horn puts a chill down my spine. I hope Richard Boone can hear this from the other life and know that there are people who treasure his portrayal of the knight without armor in a savage land.
This young man agrees. The horn, the sound of the hunt, so noble. Roam on paladin
@@neroaugustus5378 It says a lot about Richard Boone's acting and his stage presence that so many people still love HGWT. He's been gone for forty years, but his legacy is still going strong, thanks to his portrayal of Paladin.
Yes Sir
Yes for sure! Mr. Boone played that role so well. Such a good show and I watch it every day.
Makes you quiver huh?.😆
Loved watching Paladin with my Dad back in the 60’s! Richard Boone was the perfect pick for Paladin, handsome,witty, fighting skills, and a great voice. WOW, thanks for this gem!
This song takes me back to “Stand By Me.” Such a great song.
Yes in Stand by me the boys were singing this song. I remember too.
Paladin beats anything on TV now.
Truth !!!! TV. sucks these days.
By far!
I am from the Netherlands and I am 62 years old. I only discovered Johnny Western a few years ago and was caught by the voice. "Nineteen men" was the first song I discovered from him and it tasted like more. Some singers have that nostalgic Western sound in their voices and he's one of them. For Dutch standards the band looks a bit over the top but let's be honest You get the wild west feel in no time. Great song and voice.
Have gone will travel was my favorite western when I was a kid. Palladin was always so cool but fair...and of course fast as lightning! This song brought back a flood of memories and I thank you for that!🎉❤❤
Have Gun--Will Travel.
I was born in 1963 my papaw on my mother's side which would be her dad loved westerns him and Mimas lived right up above us so I'd walk up the path at 5 yrs old and watch westerns with papaw that would be in 68 or 69 as I am was born in June of 63 ! Id like to think we watched some of these westerns together Have Gun Will Travel !
As a kid I loved this song and love it more now! "A Man without armor in a savage land... Country song with a French horn, so strong and beautiful! A classic forever, like the Perry Mason theme and others.
It's "A Knight without armor in a savage land".
@@lashlarue59 thank you, how could I forget that?
My dad played bass on a few of his songs in the late fifties. This might have been one of them. Johnny was our neighbor. He was a nice person.
Well that makes you a very fortunate person. I’d love to have met him. 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 johnny is my grandpa! I can help out with that
@@terynslade2410 I will like to meet him myself. He still sounds good!
I'm 42 and I love Have gun will travel.
I remember watching it with my daddy when I was a child and thinking it must have been so much fun to play in the show.
Not always. Some episodes were pretty intense and dangerous. In those episodes he was extra edgy and on constant high alert. It had to be very hard on him when he had to direct as well as act. No wonder he got burned out by the end of the sixth and final season. It kind of aged him as well.
From my childhood memories. I never thought I would hear this awesome song again. Thanks!
80 something now and he still sounds amazing
There is no other theme song of any kind better then HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL!!!
I'm sure J.W. would be pleased to know you think so highly of his song. It was one of his most requested numbers wherever he played live.
@@WYO_Cowboy_Joe Just a follow up the reason why this song is so important to me this was one of only a few shows my Dad and I watched together when I was young. Yes I got to meet Paladin many years ago at Dorney park. Thanks for listening.
I saw Johnny Western sing this song live, at the Tachikawa AFB NCO club in 1968. He gave a great show.
Still one of the best songs. Thanks When The Cowboy Sings!
Hell yeah AMIGO always will be
Johnny was a DJ on KFDI when I was driving truck listened to him all the time when I was out around Wichita Ks. Some times was out there everyday. He was a great DJ had a lot of story about life on the road as a singer. Would tune him in as soon as I could in the morning a listen to him as long as I could on my way back home. The station had more power in the day than at night sometimes I could get it all the way back home. Its good to hear him again.
Dan Crafton well told story about some stories 👍🏻
I worked with him at KFDI for a few years. Really nice guy. Incredibly talented.
God bless Marty Stuart. He's not ashamed to show his belief and patriotism. Plus this is the coolest segment of his show I've ever seen.
This is amazing! I Was watching Saturday morning Westerns and woke up to "Paladin Paladin where do you roam".... As usual as I do when I catch the opening of old Western TV show theme song - I jumped up and turned up the volume to full.. so catchy so great... so wonderful from a time long past when we Americans didn't realize how happy we were... United for the better of this great land.
The Eisenhower years.... God Bless America.. Then I read Bobby LaVanway's note about singing along on his father's lap... I just cried... I can only remember watching Western TV shows with my Grandfather as Westerns were the "mans" TV shows and my grandfather was a great man who told me "you must always protect your mother"- and I did and still do. This live version of The Ballad of Paladin is the best because Johnny Western rocks it and the French Horn is excellent - so chilling and makes me cry for a time long past in this incredible and best country know to Western Civilization....God Bless America and Johnny Western's family. Thank you so much.
Beautifully worded. I long for a time i never got to see. I wish i could go back, away from current america. And in regards to the horn; yes, it calls to and stirs something deep within me as well
I’m 26 years old and this brought a tear to my eye! I would have loved to experience a day in those time let alone a lifetime! In my opinion you guys probably had the best time of any generation. So patriotic, the moon landing, Vietnam born right after ww2 people really loved this country back then. My dad is a boomer and I love the story’s❤️
From a kid in the early sixties til' now, always a classic... Glad to see this so many years later, and to actually see Johnny Western :-).
Wow wow, he still looks "VERY good!" I hope he lives to be 110 plus indeed! So be it! USA
I know this man. He and his wife are two of the finest people I’ve ever known. I send my love and prayers to them 💕
Paladin lives through you and all of the wonderful episodes that I watch. He was Paladin; he is Paladin, and he will always be Paladin. I am determined to do my best to keep the legend going and growing! RIP Richard Boone
This is epic, showing my mom now who is 69, she loves this song and the show, brought tears of joy to her eyes
Great song, great singer, great tv show!
Facts
Ah, the good old days. I now watch the show syndicated, and rehash my childhood days with my adopted girls. They love it, as I. Good memories of simpler times with wholesome shows. Fantastic! Thanks Johnny! T.M.
Johnny had a great voice. Love this song. The French horn is great.
Yeah, who ever expected the French horn? A stroke of genius!
This a totally Awesome Performance by all the performers!!!! Wow!!!!! Thank you!!! You cowboys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!
That cowboy with the tan chaps! Great for farting in!
@@thomaspick4123 Show some respect troll.👽
i had the holster and gun set as a child long gone but i still have one of the business cards. one of my treasures from the early 60s
Me Too!
Had the Hat also!
I did too, wish I had them still I even had a tint lever action rifle.
Wire Paladin🤙🏼
That is my handle. I have been called Paladin for years and it was my favorite TV show when I was a kid. RIP Richard Boone.
My horse's registered name is RPH Paladin! He is an Arabian of Varian lines!
Once again, "Paladin" song theme is STILL n ALWAYS the best for Jonny's "bit husky n naturally vibrating AND 'resonate sound' is the BEST song he will EVER sing n HOPE he would understand that he sang Paladin song shall be remembered forever indeed, because of its qualities aforementioned! USA
I've had the pleasure of knowing Johnny for over 35 years. Used to emcee his shows around Arizona. Johnny and his wife Jo are now retired in Mesa, Arizona Great person.
Jim West. Thanks for the update. When we lived in Northfield, Mn. Johnny used to get rides home after school with my Mom. Alot of students did. I was along a few times & knew who he was WOW. What a thrill for a young "silly school girl". A few years ago ran into him again out at West World in AZ. He actually remembered my Mom & me. The next year he there again. I thought l could sneak in & just
listen but he "busted me" from the stage. "His friend from Northfield" had come to see him. Great memories. Because of Defeat of Jesse James Days he brought Johnny Cash along one time also. Both were performing in Mpls. Like l said GREAT memories. Always nice.
SHOULD have been well over 250,000 views; yet, NOT many people are knowing about "STILL" possess wonderful voice indeed! USA
I just discovered Paladin this past year! So happy to find this. I love HGWT!
Wow, there's a second part to that song, and seeing Johnny Western perform it, Great!
I am so happy to see the man that did this song. In the back of my mind, I suspected that that name was contrived as a "Nom de Plume", as it were, for Richard Boone. The voice was in the same caliber as Boones. I never saw Johnny Western on any of the televisions shows when I was growing up ( Ed Sullivan, Jimmy Dean, etc.) so I let my imagination run wild...lol This show was a favorite of mine and my brothers when we were kids. I still watch the reruns sometimes, great memories.
Just finished watching Paladin on TV...had to know more about the person who sang the theme song.
Love the show to even though I wasn't around in the 50s or 60s
Johnny Western was in one episode of HGWT in 1958. He challenges Palladin to a quick-draw gun fight and is wounded. Shortly after Western writes the song and the producers and CBS decide to use it over the closing credits of the series which ran from 1957 to 1963. Look for Johnny in the episode called "The Return of Dr. Thackery"
ALWAYS loved this song.....and always sang along as a kid as we watched it on TV Saturday Nights in the PNW.
Fabulous singer Whose Ballards will stay with us and generations to come as long as they re-run one of the best ever Westerns there has been! Love It!!!
Good morning this is The First Time I've heard the “complete” version. What a profound BLESSING. And excellent vocals 💯🎶💯🌎✌️
My little brother's name is Paladin and my dad would put this on for him and he'd get so happy lol
My Arabian horse's show name is RPH Paladin....
The REAL DUDE!!
COOL!!
Still a wonderful, resonant voice and pacing!
Thank you, I love this song.
I watch Have Gun every morning at 8 am. I’ve seen them all but I’ll watch em all again anyway. Just recently saw the episode where Johnny Western actually appeared on the show as bad guy.😊
what episode I'd like to see it?
Love those outfits.
Thank you love this song
Great singer
What a great ballad , what a great show Richard Boone “ was” Paladin
I co promoted a Ronnie Milsap concert in Wichita about 20 years ago. Met Johnny Western at the radio meet and greet with Ronnie before the show. A real gentleman
Johnny Western, man-o-man, what a true Legend and Talent. I used to listen him on his radio show for many years back in the 1990's, while I was in the Air Force, stationed in Wichita . He also traveled with Johnny Cash's Road Shows, for many years. And he's from my home state of Minnesota. I salute you Johnny Westerlund.
Superb job Johnny!
I love the theme song. Honestly I never saw Have Gun will Travel. However, I learned the song through one of my Cassette Tapes and CD's with other TV Themes included. I'm a TV Buff.
Hello JohnnyWestern...many memories from Little America In Cheyenne Wy during Frontier days.
Stand by me sent me here after watching it for 35 years..😊
One of the finest men I’ve known. He and his beautiful wife are very loving and caring!🥰
I wish I could have heard Johnny western sing before he retired
Nostalgia. Shows my age.
The song & the Have Gun Will Travel series rocks!
I grew up on these cowboy songs. fills my heart. thanks.
Great show. I always watched it back in the day.
All the comments are wonderful and what a lovely performance. Its really good.
8-27-2024. Good music and good show. Bummed that google shot down all the best episodes. Real mad at both, google and youtube!!!!!!!!
Best tv western theme song

Loved Have Gun Will Travel as a kid…would finish my dinner and dishes quick on the nights it came on…

He had a hand in writing it along with. Sam Rolfe.
I just got finished watching,
“Have gun will travel” on
Me TV 📺
Great song and singer.
I remember watching this in the late 1950's. Loved it then and I still do. The song brings back such great memories!
Oh hell yes!!!!!! Love it!!! Thanks for uploading this!
I saw Marty Stuart and his band play with the Byrds for the 50th anniversary of the sweetheart of the rodeo tour. They were awesome.
His songbook features some great tunes
Remebering Johnny Western performing this at Little America Cheyenne WY during CFD.
Great--thank you!
Thanks for sharing
OUTSTANDING.
Did anyone else recognize the Riders In The Sky behind the accordion player? Fuck, I’m old
I recognized Riders In The Sky. I’ve been listening to them almost 50 years. Johnny Western almost that long. Johnny endorsed and promoted them. He allowed them to use the Paladin melody for their parody song of it called PALINDROME. They appeared together several times over the years. The accordion player is Joey “The Cowpolka King” Miskulin. He joined Riders in the Sky as a full member in the 1990’s
Well done Johnny Western. Enjoy seeing Marty Stewart in this; one of my all time favorites.
Just pure gold of the old west themes
The only cowboy singer still alive
I love, love , love it. Thank you.
I love this so much! I love the singers, the song, Rochard Boone, and I love the show!
Catch Johnny Western in a tales of Wells Fargo episode called 'Terry'.... He plays rancher Jack Barton.. this song was also performed by a singer called Duane Eddy but I like this version better.. look, he's no buddy Holly but Johnny Weston isn't bad either especially carrying a tune @ his age ....God bless him
Only western singer living; retired in Mesa Arizona
Great stuff!
I love this song thank you for putting it here
Wow! That is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Great song and even greater series. Never appreciated it that much as a ,kid but I really enjoy the reruns.
There are nothing like those old cowboy songs
Amazing set🎉!!!
Powerful! God bless
He actually appeared in the show in the season 1 episode titled The Return of Dr. Thackery with June Lockhart
Wow! First time to see this video! Might have expected to find all of these men on stage with Marty and the band!
Johnny Western also appeared in one of the HGWT episodes.
Absolutely fantastic.
Johnny has hundreds of stories of his days touring with Johnny Cash as one of his guitar players.
Where would I find those tales? Autobiography?
@@normanleach5427 I am a friend of Johnny's and have been suggesting he write an autobiography for years. Not sure when that will happen? But I will suggest a book to you....JOHNNY CASH, The Life by Robert Hilburn. In it Johnny Western is quoted in many parts of the book about his travels with Cash and there are a few stories in it that Western was a part of.
Im at an awwww of this song
RICHARD BOONE DESERVES TO HAVE A SONG ABOUT HIS EXPLOITS,what a western
Impeccable voice despite his years.
