Narration 2 lyrics

John Wesley Hardin lost his roll

shootin' dice in the Jim Saloon in El Paso

One night back in '85

For a while he sat there and watched the game broodin' mad

Then he drew a pistol and said gimme my money back

And the timid soul handlin' the cash for the house said

Take it all Mr Hardin it belongs to you

Hardin got arrested for it the next day

But nobody thought to ask him to return the money

He did get told not to play that way anymore
