The Lone Ranger and his faithful Indian
companion, Tonto, chased after the bad guys and made the West a better place
to live.
Clayton Moore actually did
more than just the TV show. He also starred in two Lone Ranger movies in the
mid 1950s.
OK - so just what
was The Lone Ranger all about?
What
was his story? Six Texas Rangers (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!) rode in the sun (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!).
Six men of justice rode into an ambush, with death for all 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 tale. Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo,
Silver, away! Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! His
wounds quickly mended (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!), and then in the night (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!).
Six graves were put there to hide from the outlaws that one man lived to fight.
He chose silver bullets (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!), the sign of his name (Hi-Yo! Hi-Yo!). A
mask to disguise him, a great silver stallion, and thus began his fame. Hi-Yo,
Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! Hi-Yo, Silver! Hi-Yo, Silver, away! The Lone Ranger
is his name!
