Yancy Derringer Theme Song

“Yancy Derringer” music by Henry Russell and with lyrics by Don Quinn
They sing of Yancy 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.

Bet you didn’t know this! Pahoo-Ka-Ta-Wah means “wolf who stands in water” in Pawnee! He carried a knife in his headdress.
