Song: The Ballad of Allegedly Smith.
He's the man without a name they call 'Allegedly',
And allegedly, he's more than we deserve,
Because he's out there in the black with a pistol in his hand,
And once he sets a course, he doesn't swerve!
He's the man without a name they call 'Allegedly',
And he's somewhere out there fighting for our rights,
Because he knows that right and wrong aren't always what the law decides,
And he's out there shouting 'freedom' to the night!
So let's raise a toast to Allegedly Smith;
He's out there somewhere, fighting for us all.
He's a hero and a legend and they say he might be dead,
But don't you know a story never falls --
He's a bastard and a madman and a master of the gun;
When he picks a side, you'd best go home, that side's already won.
He's an outlaw and a scoundrel, he'll take everything you're worth,
Never set your sights against a ship where he's a stake or berth.
And no one knows his name or who he is, or where he's from,
But they say the hounds of hell turn tail when they hear that he's come --
He's the man without a name they call 'Allegedly',
And allegedly he's never missed a mark,
Because he takes his aim for justice, and he fires for every soul
That's ever found dishonour in the dark!
He's the man without a name they call 'Allegedly',
And he'll never rest until he's found his home,
Because there's nothing for a man except the place that he can stand,
And there's some who say he's ever doomed to roam!
So let's raise a toast to Allegedly Smith;
He's out there somewhere, fighting for us all.
He's a hero and a legend and they say he might be dead,
But don't you know a story never falls --
Is there some forgotten tragedy that sent him to the sky,
Some broken heart or oath forsaken that's done banished him to fly?
He's a good man in a fight, they say that's all he'll ever know,
An endless war against whatever fool declares himself a foe.
And no one knows his name or ever offers him a hand,
And they say someday the stars will shower down at his command --
So let's raise a toast to Allegedly Smith;
He's out there somewhere, fighting for us all.
He's a hero and a legend and they say he might be dead,
But don't you know a story never falls, falls, falls?
Don't you know a story never falls?
(A little illumination: Allegedly Smith is a character from Firefly: Paper Moon whose exploits have rather gotten away from him, making him a legend in his own time. A very confused legend. But a cute one!)
And allegedly, he's more than we deserve,
Because he's out there in the black with a pistol in his hand,
And once he sets a course, he doesn't swerve!
He's the man without a name they call 'Allegedly',
And he's somewhere out there fighting for our rights,
