John Wesley Harding - Thea Gilmore

[00:04.36]John wesley harding
[00:07.37]Was a friend to the poor,
[00:11.31]He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
[00:18.56]All along this countryside,
[00:21.81]He opened a many a door,
[00:25.25]But he was never known
[00:27.19]To hurt a honest man.
[00:30.31]music
[01:00.31]'twas down in chaynee county,
[01:04.25]A time they talk about,
[01:07.62]With his lady by his side
[01:10.36]He took a stand.
[01:15.05]And soon the situation there
[01:18.18]Was all but straightened out,
[01:21.62]For he was always known
[01:23.62]To lend a helping hand.
[01:27.18]music
[01:57.56]All across the telegraph
[02:00.67]His name it did resound,
[02:04.37]But no charge held against him
[02:07.25]Could they prove.
[02:11.18]And there was no man around
[02:14.13]Who could track or chain him down,
[02:18.37]He was never known
[02:20.24]To make a foolish move.
