Laramie Theme Song

"Laramie" music by Cyril J. Mockridge and lyrics by Bill Olafson
Stranger ride carefully
Stay 'way from your gun.
There's danger in Laramie for men on the run.
Your gray eyes shift warily,
There's no room here for you.
Just stay wise, this is Laramie
Keep traveling on through.

Faster guns than yours have made the foolish play
The next time that you draw may be the last.
We're a peaceful town; we aim to stay that way.
Our justice isn't fancy but it's fast.
So...

Laramie Tidbits

When a land-grabber kills their father, Slim (John Smith) and Andy (Bobby Crawford) Sherman are left to try and salvage what they can from a ranch which wasn't doing well. One day in comes a drifter named Jess Harper (Robert Fuller) who is persuaded to stay and help out.

To supplement their income, the Shermans run a stagecoach station from the ranch.

In the beginning Jonesy (Hoagy Carmichael), an old family friend, provides guidance on the ranch. He was gone in the second season and Sheriff Mort Corey (Stuart Randall) appeared. Andy just kind of faded from view and Mike Williams (Dennis Holmes), orphaned after an Indian attack, came to stay at the ranch. Also, Daisy (Spring Byington) arrived to provide housekeeping skills to the all male household.

Laramie brought Robert Fuller to public attention as he was unquestionably the show's hunk. Fuller moved from Laramie onto scounting duties on Wagon Train.

Passings

John Smith (real name Robert Van Orden) died in 1995 of cirrhosis and heart problems. Spring Byington died in 1971 of cancer and Hoagy Carmichael in 1981 of a heart attack.

Laramie Trivia

Bobby Crawford is Johnny Crawford's
