Lyrics

[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.
[02:24.81] music
[02:28.87]
