Hardin Wouldn't Run
Lyricist:Johnny Cash
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
