John Wesley Harding
Was a friend to the poor,
Adalah teman bagi orang miskin,
He trav'led with a gun in ev'ry hand.
Dia membawa pistol ke tangan evolusioner.
All along this countryside,
Sepanjang pedesaan ini,
He opened a many a door,
Dia membuka banyak pintu,
But he was never known
Tapi dia tidak pernah tahu
To hurt an honest man.
Menyakiti orang jujur
'Twas down in Chaynee County,
‘Twas turun di Chaynee County,
A time they talk about,
Suatu saat mereka berbicara tentang,
With his lady by his side
Dengan wanita di sisinya
He took a stand.
Dia berdiri.
And soon the situation there
Dan segera situasinya disana
Was all but straightened out,
Semuanya diluruskan,
For he was always known
Karena dia selalu dikenal
To lend a helping hand.
Untuk membantu.
All across the telegraph
Seluruh telegraf
His name it did resound,
Namanya memang bergemuruh,
But no charge held against him
Tapi tidak ada tuduhan yang melawannya
Could they prove.
Bisakah mereka membuktikannya?
And there was no man around
Dan tidak ada orang di sekitar
Who could track or chain him down,
Siapa yang bisa melacak atau menurunkannya,
He was never known
Dia tidak pernah dikenal
To make a foolish move.
Untuk melakukan tindakan bodoh.
