YANCY DERRINGER (1958-1959)
[Jock Mahoney]

They sing of Yancey Derringer
On every danger trail,
On riverboat, in manor house
And now and then in jail.

They say that Yancy Derringer
Had ruffles at his wrists,
Brocade and silver buckles
And iron in his fists.

Yancy, Yancy Derringer,
Yancy, Yancy Derringer
In every tale of derring do
They tell of Yancy D.
I found this set of lyrics on the Web.  I remember the melody of the Yancy Derringer theme as clearly as can be -- and these lyrics don't fit that tune.  So... my memory is playing one of its amusing little games again, there was an alternate theme song that I didn't learn, or this is not the correct theme song.

(Did you know that Jock Mahoney was the stepfather of actress Sally Fields?)
