| 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 East bound train
|
| Goin', goin' with Jane Bowen
|
| Till the lawmen 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
|
| Hardin wouldn’t run |
