Lyrics: (Source)

All but one man died.
There at Bitter Creek.
And they say he ran away.

Branded, scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded, and you know you're a man.

Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man.

Full song:

All but one man died,
There at Bitter Creek,
And they say he ran away ...

Branded!
Marked with a coward's shame.
What do you do when you're branded,
Will you fight for your name?

He was innocent,
Not a charge was true,
But the world will never know ...

Branded!
Scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded,
And you know you're a man?

And wherever you go
for the rest of your life
You must prove ...
You're a man!

(Missing third verse for closing credits)

Refrain: Branded!
Left to a fate unknown!
What do you do when you're branded,
and you're all on your own?

Closing verse:

Was it General Reed?
And the men who died?
He can never speak the truth!

Branded! That's not the way to die!
What do you do when you're branded?
Can you live with a lie?
