Balsam Range Jack Diamond Lyrics

Jack Diamond was a bad man
And he rode into town
On a tall, black stallion horse
With gold bits in his mouth

Two six guns hanging upon each hip
Both on his side
Fire was in his stare
And revenge was in his eyes

Jack Diamond where you been?
It's good to see you this way again
Jack left out for Tulsa
On that cold winter's day
Leaving loneliness behind him
As we watched him ride away

Some called him a coward
Some said he'd lost his mind
I knew old Jack best
He just needed a little time

Jack Diamond where you been?
It's good to see you this way again

Jack was always quiet
And he kept to himself
With a beautiful home, and family
He wanted nothing else

He worked hard from dusk til dawn
On his tiny piece of land
Strange riders came about a year ago
With money in there hands The price kept getting higher
But they weren't going to leave
From my cold, dead hands
You'll have to take my lands
And you'll never get my deed
Shots were fired, and Jack went down
They locked his family inside
He listened as it all burned up
He listened as they died

Jack hid out in Tulsa
For eleven months or so
With the memory of his family
Burning deep within his soul

Jack Diamond was a bad man
And he rode into town
On a tall, black stallion horse
With gold bits in his mouth

Two six guns hanging upon each hip
Both on his side
Fire was in his stare
And revenge was in his eyes

Jack Diamond where you been?
It's good to see you this way again
Jack Diamond where you been?
It's good to see you this way again
Jack Diamond where you been?
