The Comancheros Lyrics By Claude King

    the comancheros are takin’ this land
    the comancheros are takin’ this land

    paul regret from new orleans
    a fast man with a gun
    he didn’t want to go he had to run
    when he shot down the judge’s son
    yes he shot judge scofield’s son

    with the dark of night he left that town
    never to return again
    with a oneway ticket at the end of the line
    he was told by a stranger man
    the comancheros are takin’ this land

    then the comancheros came aridin’ through the night
    stealin’ and akillin’ takin’ ever’thing in sight
    nothin’ left behind but the blood and the sand
    the comancheros are takin’ this land
    the comancheros are takin’ this land

    i’ll cover every inch of the ground where i stand
    i’d die before i’d run
    i’m not afraid of any living man
    and here i’ll make my stand
    with a gun i’ll make my stand

    he rode into the comanchero town
    like a wild man on the run
    before he’d leave they’d all be dead
    they’d die by his blazin’ gun
    they died by his blazin’ gun
