1
John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring
2
Killed him in the bed right where he lay
3
He took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleepin
4
Rode out before they found him the next day,
5
Now the brothers Frank and Jesse, No-one could be more fearsome
6
They robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw gangs
7
The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie
8
And legend has their last name to be James.
9
Chorus:
10
Livin' in the west must have been the best
11
Must have been the greatest time of all
12
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
13
But I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
14
--- Instrumental ---
15
Little William Bonney, Billy the Kid they called him
16
Had to use a six-gun to survive
17
He bit the dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation
18
A notch for every year he was alive.
19
Chorus:
20
Livin' in the west must have been the best
21
Must have been the greatest time of all
22
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
23
'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
24
And now the frontier days are over for William Frank and Jesse
25
And a thousand other bad guys of their day
26
But they still live on in stories and I hope they live forever
27
And to sum it up here is all that I want to say.
28
Chorus:
29
Livin' in the west must have been the best
30
Must have been the greatest times of all
31
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
32
'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls.
33
Chorus:
34
Livin' in the west must have been the best
35
Must have been the greatest times of all
36
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
37
'Cause I never saw those sons of guns in bar-rooms starting brawls...
