From out of the dust came a man true and bold
Champion of the fandango
By night he drank whiskey, by day killed bad men
And the townspeople knew him as Rango
Coming down the mountainside the people hailed his name
And of his legend they sang-o
With iron in his heart, steal in his claw
He pumped their heads all full'a lead, Rango
Rango, Rango, Rango, Rango-o-o-o
Rango
A ladies man indeed from his head down to his knee
Rango was doing the tango
But in came Bad Bill from his hideout in the hill
With a notion to kill Rango
(chorus)
Now Rango, he is gone
But his legend still lives on
In the brothels and saloons of Durango
He lived as he died
With a six gun at his side
And all the ladies cried
For Rango
(chorus)
