	I had one response to my question on the Lone Ranger TV series. How-
ever, houxz!halle1 only mentioned the name of the other Lone Ranger who was,
of course, John Hart. The words to the theme song are as follows:

The Ballad of the Lone Ranger
-----------------------------

Six Texas rangers (hi yo, hi yo)
Rode in the sun (hi yo, hi yo)
Six men of justice rode into an ambush,
And left - All dead but one.

One lone survivor (hi yo, hi yo)
Lay on the trail (hi yo, hi yo)
Found there by Tonto, the brave indian Tonto,
He lived to tell the tail.

CHORUS
Hi yo, Silver,
Hi yo, Silver, away!!!
Hi yo, Silver,
Hi yo, Silver, away!!!

His wounds quickley mended (hi yo, hi yo)
And there in the night (hi yo, hi yo)
Six graves he put there to hide from the outlaws
That one man lived to fight!

He chose silver bullets (clank clank, clank clank *)
The sign of his name
A mask to disguise him, a great silver stallion,
And thus began his fame!

CHORUS

* The clanks mentioned were the sound of a hammer hitting an anvil (as in
forging silver bullets, dummy).

					Hey Tonto, how about going into
					town and getting beat up by bad
					guys so we know who to chase!
