johnny burnette - ballad of the one eyed jacks lyrics
a one+eyed jack rode to monterey in the heat of the blazing sun
when sheriff longworth saw kid rio, he strapped on his fast gun
the sheriff didn’t trust the one eyed jack nor the deadly smile he wore
an’ when that night he shamed louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore
beware of the one+eyed jacks, especially if they’re wild
one+eyed jacks are deadly, even when they smile
never trust a one+eyed jack with his cold, cold heart of stone
he will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil’s own
ten cracks of the sheriff’s whip cut deep. the pain+filled rio cursed
“you’d better k!ll me while you can or i will get you first.”
the angry sheriff raised his gun b+tt high, then smashed rio’s trigger hand
“you’re done for now, you one+eyed jack, you will k!ll no other man.”
the creaky iron doors slammed shut tight. the one+eyed jack was jailed
with louisa’s help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed
the horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin’ six guns burst
the sheriff aimed his gun at the one+eyed jack, but the one+eyed jack shot first
