Ballad of One Eyed Jack McGraw

[Verse] Out in the dry Where the tumbleweeds roam One Eyed Jack McGraw called that his home A lawman of legend Though many would try To best him in battle Under the wide open sky [Verse 2] From Denver to Tucson From dusk 'til dawn He'd ride through the night His resolve never worn A scar on his cheek and a fire in his soul Jack saddled his steed on a relentless patrol [Chorus] Twelve men rode out to take him down But only four walked away from that showdown In the dust of his final stand A hero fell One Eyed Jack McGraw With legends to tell [Verse 3] Bandits and rogues They'd scatter like leaves When Jack pulled his piece from the worn-out sleeves A whirl of dust A glint in his eye And quicker than light Twelve bullets would fly [Verse 4] Brave as he was He couldn't stand fate Facing a dozen with death at the gate Shot after shot 'til the sun settled low Four men limped away Six feet below [Chorus] Twelve men rode out to take him down But only four walked away from that showdown In the dust of his final stand A hero fell One Eyed Jack McGraw With legends to tell
