Lyrics for Narration 2

John Wesley Hardin lost his roll Shootin' dice in the Jim Saloon in El Paso One night back in '95 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
