No, it was Chuck Connors and it was definitely called Branded.

I vaguely remember the last couple lines of the lyrics. It was certainly an unforgettable theme song.
 
Are you sure the series was called "Branded"? Did it star Patrick McNeesh?

Subject: [UC] Geezer Alert!!

After the AARP remark concerning my Hack Question, I decided to create a protocol to forewarn listers who are put off by boomer group nostalgia.  So any cultural references that precede the advent of Cheese Fries, I will note with Geezer Alert in the subject line.
 
   Now that I have your attention:  Do you remember the theme song for Branded, the Hack of its time?
 
All but one man died,
There at Bitter creek.
And they say he ran away.
 
Branded: marked with a coward's sword
What do you do when your Branded
And you know you're a man!
 
(please feel free to correct my memory of the song.  Why don't TV shows have themes like these nowadays?  Can you think of an appropriate song for Hack?  Let's not let that ol' gray matter go bad on you; exercise those synapses of yesteryear. And a hi ho Silver awaaaaay!)
