The Lyrics
Back in the west, when men were hung
There lived a man ..they called, "Bastard Son"
He wore a gun and a big black hat,
His name was Matt...
Matt, Bastard Son
Folks called him illegitimate
And it made him mad as hell
His aim was to find his Daddy,
...This vengeful laddie,
He knew his mission well..
One day thru' a swingin' door saloon
Came walkin' in.. this old big bad goon
Matt shot him dead 'cuz he'd pulled a gun
Killed by his son, Matt...
Matt, Bastard Son
His mission's done, Matt...
Matt, Bastard Son
There lived a man ..they called, "Bastard Son"

...This vengeful laddie,
He knew his mission well..
One day thru' a swingin' door saloon
Came walkin' in.. this old big bad goon
Matt shot him dead 'cuz he'd pulled a gun
Killed by his son, Matt...
Matt, Bastard Son
His mission's done, Matt...
Matt, Bastard Son

A wry tale told excellently!!!...one of those 'why didn't someone think of this before' title switches...555!!!
It's Fives Easy Pieces for ya, AF!

(is that Oscar buzz I'm hearin?)
Don't call me a bastard!!! Why I oughta!!! Wait... This song isn't about me? Well then.... Okay fine (But just watch your back, lol)
I actually remember that theme song - great title switch and song; I'm still laughing with this one.
Ahhh the WildWest, . . . Sir L'Air de Farce, the ~Mighty Duke 0'Edge~ where Cowboys were ' hung' . . . .
Like Timmy 1K said, great title switch. This is so hilarious! What an old cowhand's tale! Clever parody for the spaghetti westerns! 555.
Thanks, everyone....I doubted if anyone would remember this old tv show and theme..
Rippin' off "A Boy Named Sue", huh? Send ya to Folsom Prison for that, or maybe San Q.. ... well, no hard feelings, I'll still shoot ya some Fives from my Tommy-gun.
Hey there JohnnyC, SanQuentin will soon be FOR SALE , per GovernorAhhnold! (GovOnHold)
orCALvotress, think what a nice condo AFW will have!
My version is much more funny, sensical, and fits the tune far better. This is amateurish and dumb, at best.
Out in the west , I kid you none There lived a man called Bastardson He had a gun and big black hat They called him Matt, Matt Bastardson He had no dad that could be found In fact, it could be anyone His mother liked to sleep around And so he's Matt, Matt Bastardson And then he went looking for “daddy” It drove him batty, but he kept right on He found him one day, but poor Matty His new found daddy wouldn't call him "son" Reunion wasn't very long When Matt said "Hi", Dad pulled his gun But Matt was fast, he shot him gone Our hero Matt, Matt Bastardson
