Hi Ho Silver

About Hi Ho Silver

"Hi Ho Silver" is a song by Scottish singer/songwriter Jim Diamond. It is best known for being the theme song for the British television series Boon. The song was from Diamond's second solo studio album Desire for Freedom, and it reached #5 on the UK chart in 1986. Although many people believe that Diamond wrote the song especially for Boon, he actually wrote it in memory of his father who had died the previous year. Diamond was approached by Central Television in 1985 to write and record the theme song for a new television drama series. Diamond at first declined the offer but Central were persistent. He told them to send a script of the pilot episode so he could read it over. The script was headed "Ken Boon - Fireman". This instantly had him intrigued and he felt that he should do it. His father had been a firefighter for many years. The songs lyrics explain how Diamond's father had "rescued" him on many occasions when he was down on his luck and how he regarded his father as The Lone Ranger and his hero. more »

Sometimes I sit yeah, feeling alone
No one to talk to I got no telephone
And at night I wake up, I just lie and stare
Come on and save me from this nightmare

Hi ho silver, here come the lone ranger
He's riding on down to rescue me

I know the road I must take, with a wink of my eye
I leave old friends behind like old alibi
I take all they throw against me I make a stand
For truth and justice and for the common man

Hi ho silver, here come the lone ranger
He's riding on down to rescue me

And I guess it took some time for me to decide
If you were just my hero, or my friend
Watching with my innocent eyes
Your silver stallion ride
across my room I'd listen as they cried

Hi ho silver, here come the lone ranger
He's riding on down to rescue me
