Johnny Cash - Hardin Wouldn't Run Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I know a man whose plow handle hand is quicker than a light
  • Wes Hardin is his name they say he travels in the night
  • For he might have to kill or walk around a fight
  • And if you ever saw Wes Hardin draw you know he can skin his gun
  • He won't say how many tried and died
  • Up against the top hand up against the wrong man cause Hardin' wouldn't run
  • He rode in like a Texas wind took the eastbound train
  • Goin' goin' with Jane Bowen till the law men caught up
  • So long Janie chin up I'll be back again
  • Off he went to Huntsville Prison so long Janie he cried
  • Fifteen years she waited till her heart broke and she died
  • And she left that bad land to wait up in the sky
  • Free at last the payin' past for all the wrong he did
  • First free air they let him breathe since he was a kid
  • So let him come and let him go and let him deal and bid
  • Near the border in El Paso Lawyer reads the sign
  • You won't find him there for business every day at nine
  • For business is real bad one client's all he's had in quite a long long time
  • Then sheriff Selman's boy broke in to Wes's woman's place
  • Up she jumped and pistol whipped him kicked him in the face
  • And John Selman demands revenge for this disgrace
  • You could see every night by candlelight in Hardin's favorite bar
  • She'd be hanging on his arm and very late they'd leave there
  • Headed for the Goose Hair glad it wasn't far
  • Right through the swinging doors John Selman came with a blazin' gun
  • Wes Hardin chug-a-luggin' red eye got him in the back of the head
  • John Wesley Hardin fell dead cos Hardin wouldn't run
