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 eastbound train 
Goin' goin' with Jane Bowen till the law men 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 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 cos Hardin wouldn't run
