Branded!

First, let's get one myth straight: there is no way on earth that Chuck Connors could have possibly run away at Bitter Creek 'cause anyone with a face like that is obviously made entirely of stone, thus rendering the physical act of running a complete impossibility.

What is never explained however, is how the Big Boss Soldier can snap a sword in half without wearing gloves and not slice his hand to ribbons. Of such things, true myths endure. 

 The Theme please, Johnny Western!

All but one man died,

There at Bitter Creek,

And they say he ran away ...

Branded!

Marked with a coward's shame.

What do you do when you're branded,

Will you fight for your name?

He was innocent,

Not a charge was true,

But the world will never know ...

Branded!

Scorned as the one who ran.

What do you do when you're branded,

And you know you're a man?

And wherever you go for the rest of your life

You must prove ...

You're a man!
