  C                   G             A one-eyed half-breed amputee sat thinking of the way

left him the way he is:

One-armded, half-blind and

      Ccould not...
       G  forgive!

    G                  D                                     G For four more years he roamed around until his legs was worn away.
     C                     G             Then he bummed around from town to town, "Has a stranger passed this way?
    C                    G             The man I'm looking for has two eyes, but he's a one-breed dirty dog.

When I find him,
    DI'm gonna shoot him!
            C--Don't you laugh at me!

'Cos man, unhuh...
     GI'm really pissed!

     C              G             He saw the stranger get off near the Seborrhoea Saloon,     C              G             
And just as he was easin' in, a lumberjack rolled out.

And shot him dead,
