paroles de chanson Hardin Wouldn't Run (Demo) - Johnny Cash

I know a man with the 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 saw him skin his gun
30 or 40 have tried and died up against the top hand
But up against the wrong man, 'cause Hardin' wouldn't run

He rode in like a Texas wind, eastbound on a train
Goin' goin' with Jane Bowen then the law men caught up
So long Janie chin up I'll be back again

While your serving time at Huntsville, I've waited she cried
15 years she waited 'til her heart broke and she died
And she left this bad land to wait up in the sky

Free at last the payin' past for all the wrongs 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

Then Hardin opened up an office, Lawyer read the sign
You won't find him there for business every day at nine
'Cause business is real bad one client's all he's had in over three months time

Then Sheriff Selman's boy broke in at Wes's woman's place
Up she jumped and pistol whipped him kicked him in the face
And Sheriff Selman demands revenge for this disgrace

She's the one what they saw every night by candlelight, at Wes's favorite bar
She'd be sitting there on his arm and every night they'd leave there
Headed for the Goose Hair, glad it wasn't far

Through the swinging doors John Selman came with a blazin' gun
Hardin chug-a-luggin' red eye bullet in the back of his head
John Wesley Hardin fell dead 'cause Hardin wouldn't run
