Вступление
[Verse 1]
A E7
The day he was born they heard his granny say,
E A
"We'll name him John Wesley cause he's gonna preach some day"
E7
I'm glad the lady did't live to see her hopes defiled.
E A
He removed men from temptation, but he done it Texas style.
[Chorus]
A E7
Don't make it fifty-four John, don't make it fifly-four,
E A
Don't turn around, keep your back to the door.
E7
You come to El Paso for to practice at the law,
E A
You could leave but for God's sake John Wesley don't draw.
[Verse 2]
A E7
He was a tender hearted kid, but easy to get led,
E A
The times he grew up in are what drove him to the bad.
E7
He may have seen more death beds than are on some preacher's rolls.
E A
By the time he was thirty he'd launched thirty-seven souls.
[Verse 3]
A E7
He sure had a method but he was no Methodist,
E A
A double action six gun and a double jointed wrist.
E7
That famous John Wesley the Church man true and brave,
E A
If he'd heard about his namesake he'd turn over in his grave.
[Chorus]
A E7
Don't make it fifty-four John, don't make it fifly-four,
E A
Don't turn around, keep your back to the door.
E7
You come to El Paso for to practice at the law,
E A
You could leave but for God's sake John Wesley don't draw.
[Verse 4]
A E7
Remember Huntsville Prison John many years ago,
E A
How a guard dragged you out one night and beat you in the snow,
E7
Your revenge has brought you nothing but heartache and shame,
E A
Don't make it fifty-four or you'll have to run again.
[Verse 5]
A E7
He did'nt draw and Selman shot him and as Harding fell,
E A
He was smiling like an angel but his soul had gone, Oh Well!
E7
Let's put it this way, I don't think he dwells amoung the blessed,
E A
But if there's a gunman's Valhalla he's right up there with the best.
[Chorus]
A E7
Don't make it fifty-four John, don't make it fifly-four,
E A
Don't turn around, keep your back to the door.
E7
You come to El Paso for to practice at the law,
E A
You could leave but for God's sake John Wesley don't draw.
