Some of us will remember the American TV series "Judge Roy Bean" (1955-1956), starring the inimitable Edgar Buchanan as the "Law West of the Pecos."

The series had a memorable theme song, but only the first half is on YouTube:

Here are the complete words, for which I consulted the original show:

Take me home,
Take me home to the land of the Pecos!
By that stream,
Let me dream 'neath the sky.

This old heart
Keeps on beatin', repeatin' fond echoes
Of the brave and the bold ridin' by.

I can hear
Ev'ry steer--
The sound of the thund'ring herd,
It's so real,
I can feel
The warmth of a friendly word.

So I know,
I must go to the land of the Pecos,
There to stay,
There to stay till I die.
