John Wesley Harding Lyrics - Rolling Stones

John Wesley Harding 

Was a friend to the poor, 

He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand. 

All along this countryside, 

He opened a many a door, 

But he was never known 

To hurt a honest man. 

'Twas down in Chaynee County, 

A time they talk about, 

With his lady by his side 

He took a stand. 

And soon the situation there 

Was all but straightened out, 

For he was always known 

To lend a helping hand.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

All across the telegraph 

His name it did resound, 

But no charge held against him 

Could they prove. 

And there was no man around 

Who could track or chain him down, 

He was never known 

To make a foolish move
