[Verse 1]
A Emone-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the Amheat of the blazing Emsun.
When CSheriff Longworth saw EmKid Rio, he sB7trapped on his fast Emgun.
The Emsheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the Amdeadly smile he Emwore.
An' Cwhen that night he Emshamed Louisa, in vB7engeance the sheriff Emswore.
[Chorus]
BeEmware of the one-eyed CJacks, espDecially if they're Emwild.
EmOne-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they B7smile.
EmNever trust a Amone-eyed Jack with his Emcold, cold heart of stone.
EmHe will only show one side to you, for his B7soul is the devil's own.

[Verse 2]
Ten Emcracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep. The Ampain-filled Rio Emcursed.
"You'dC better kill me Emwhile you can or B7I will get you fEmirst."
The Emangry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then Amsmashed Rio's trigger Emhand.
"You're Cdone for now, you Emone-eyed Jack, you will B7kill no other Emman."
[Chorus]
BeEmware of the one-eyed CJacks, espDecially if they're Emwild.
EmOne-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they B7smile.
EmNever trust a Amone-eyed Jack with his Emcold, cold heart of stone.
EmHe will only show one side to you, for his B7soul is the devil's own.

[Verse 3]
The Emcreaky iron doors slammed shut tight. The Amone-eyed Jack was Emjailed.
With CLouisa's help he Emsoon escaped for his B7true love had not Emfailed.
The Emhorses rode off with the lovers two as the Amsmokin' six guns Emburst.
The Csheriff aimed his gun at the Emone-eyed Jack, but the B7one-eyed Jack shot Emfirst.
[Chorus]
BeEmware of the one-eyed CJacks, espDecially if they're Emwild.
EmOne-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they B7smile.
EmNever trust a Amone-eyed Jack with his Emcold, cold heart of stone.
EmHe will only show one side to you, for his B7soul is the devil's own.
[Break]
