Paladin's Calling Card - The business
card seen on the western adventure HAVE GUN WILL
TRAVEL/CBS/1957-63.
The card was used by
Paladin (Richard Boone), a former Army officer turned
professional gun for hire who lived at the posh Hotel Carlton in
downtown San Francisco.
Paladin's normal routine was to look for clients by perusing the
various newspapers to which he subscribed. When he read a story
about someone with a potential need for his services, he sent them
his card, along with a clipping of the story. Paladin's standard fee
was $1000.
Theme Song Lyrics
("The Ballad of Paladin" sung by Johnny Western )
Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.
He travels on to wherever he must.
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust.
There are campfire legends that the Plainsmen spin.
Of the man with the gun, of the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.
Far from home,
Far from home.
