Adventures of Jim Bowie Theme Song

“Jim Bowie” recorded by the Prairie Chiefs
Jim Bowie! Jim Bowie!
He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin’ man!
He roamed the wilderness unafraid
From Natchez to Rio Grande
With all the might of his gleaming blade
Flashing from either hand
Jim Bowie! Jim Bowie!
He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin’ man!

Adventures of Jim Bowie Tidbits

The real life adventurer gave his name to the knife he supposedly invented after his regular one broke in a fight with a grizzly. However, critics complained about the excessive violence and knife use on the show was toned down.

Set in the Louisiana Territory of the 1830s, Bowie was a rich planter who ran across many interesting characters, all set against the backdrop of New Orleans. This is the period in Bowie’s life before he left for Texas and was killed at the Alamo.
