Hardin Wouldnt Run

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

INTRO: I know a man whose plow handle hand is quicker than the 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 the Texas wind took the Eastbound train going going 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 Jane 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" read the sign but you won’t find him there for business every day at nine for business is real bad one client’s all he had in quite a long time. Then Sheriff Selman’s boy broke into 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 can see her every night by candle light at Hardin’s favorite bar She’d be hanging on his arm and very late they’d leave there Heading for the goose hair glad it wasn’t far. Thru the swinging door John Selman came with blazing gun Wes Hardin chug-a-luggin’ red eye got him in the back of the head John Wesley Hardin fell dead cause Hardin wouldn’t run. [email protected]

La chanson raconte l’histoire de Wes Hardin, un homme au caractère indomptable, connu pour sa rapidité avec son pistolet. Il est présenté comme un guerrier qui ne craint pas la violence et qui préfère affronter ses ennemis plutôt que de fuir. Au fil du récit, on découvre l’amour tragique qu’il éprouvait pour Jane Bowen, qui l’a attendu pendant quinze ans alors qu’il purgait une peine de prison. Malheureusement, son retour est marqué par la vengeance : au moment où il tente de vivre une vie normale, le fils du shérif vient chercher des comptes, et la confrontation devient fatale. Le contexte de l’histoire se situe dans le Far West américain, souvent synonyme de vie sauvage et de loi du plus fort. Les tensions entre les personnages évoquent une époque où l'honneur et la bravoure étaient souvent portés à leur paroxysme, entraînant des destins tragiques. La chanson illustre ainsi les thèmes de la loyauté, de la perte et du coup du sort dans un cadre où la violence est omniprésente.
