Oh, one eyed Jack rode to Monterey
In the heel of the blazing sun
When Sheriff Longwood saw his Rio
He strapped on his fast gun
The Sheriff didn't trust the one-eyed Jacks
Nor the deadly smile he wore
And when that night he shamed Louisa
In vengeance the Sheriff swore
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks
Especially if they're one
One-eyed Jacks are deadly
Even when they smile
Never trust a one-eyed Jack
With his old cold heart of stone
He will only show one side to you
For his soul's the devil's own
Ten cracks of the Sheriff's whip
Cut deep the painful Rio cursed
You'd better kiss me while you can
Or I'll get you first
The angry Sheriff raised his gun up high
He smashed Rio's trigger hand
You're done for now you one-eyed Jacks
You'll kill no other man
The creaky iron door slammed shut tight
The one-eyed Jacks was jailed
With Louisa's help he soon escaped
For his true love had not failed
The horses rode off with lovers two
As the smoking six guns burst
The Sheriff aimed his gun at one-eyed Jacks
But the one-eyed Jack shot first
