Tonart: A major•
Verse 1
D
John
Wesley
Hardin lost his role shooting dice
El
D
Paso one night back in 1895.
For a while he just sat there,
watched the game, brooding, mad.
Then he drew a pistol and said, give me my
money back.
And the timid soul handling the cash
of the house said, take it all
Mr.
Hardin, it belongs to you.
A
Hardin got arrested for it the next day,
D
but nobody thought to ask him to return the money.
He did get told not to play
D
A
D
I know a man whose plow handle
hand is quicker than a light.
Hardin is his name they say
and he travels in the night for he might
A
D
have to kill or walk around the fight
and if you ever saw his heart and draw
you know he can skin his gun
won't say how many tried and died up against the
top hand up against the wrong man cause
A
D
Harden
Well, he rode in like a
Texas wind
And he took the eastbound train
Goin', goin' with
Jane
Bowen
Till the lawman called up
So long,
A
D
Janie, chin up I'll be back again
Well, off he went to
Huntsville
Prison
So long,
Janie, cryin'
Fifteen years she waited till her
heart broke and she died then
A
She left that mad land to wait
D
A
D
A
D
up in the sky
I'll free at last the paying pass
A
D
for all the wrong he did
First, yeah,
they let him breathe since he was a kid
So let him come and let him go,
A
D
let him deal the bid
I'll near the border in
El
Paso while all your reeds are signed
You won't find him there for
business every day at 9
For business has been real bad,
A
D
one client's always had
A
D
And it ain't quite a long, long time
Then
Sheriff
Selman's boy broke into
Wes' woman's place
After she jumped and pistol whipped
and kicked him in the face
John
A
Selman demands revenge for this disgrace
D
You can see every night by candlelight
In
Hardin's favorite bar
She'd be hangin' on his arm
A
D
And very late they'd leave there
Headed for the goose hair
A
D
And glad it wasn't far
Right through the swingin' doors
John
A
D
Selwyn came with a blazin' gun
Wes
Hardin chugga -luggin' red
I got him in the back of the head
John
West the
Hardin fell dead
Cause
A
D
Hardin wouldn't run
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm going to tell you about the train song now, called the
Little
Hippo
Drive, right?
