John Hardy歌詞

John Hardy he was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
He shot a man on the west virginia line
Might seen John Hardy getting away,poor boy
Might seen John Hardy getting away
John Hardy went up upon that freestone bridge
Or he would be free
Up stepped a man and he caught him by the arm
Saying, "Johnny come and go with me,poor boy."
Saying, "Johnny come and go with me.
John Hardy had a mother and a father too
He sent for them to come and go his bail
There was no bail out for the murdering man
They shaved John Hardy back in jail,poor boy
They shaved John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy he had a purdy little wife
The dress she wore was blue
She came to the jailhouse with a loud shout,
Saying, "Johnny I've been true to you,poor boy."
Saying, "Johnny I've been true to you.
John Hardy was standing in his cell
And tears a rolling down his eye
Saying, "I have been the death of a many,poor man,
And now I am ready to die, poor boy,
And now I am ready to die."
"I've been to the East, I've been to the West,“
I've been this whole wide world around.
I've been to the rive and I've been baptized,
Now take me to my hangin' ground, Lord, Lord,
Just take me to my hangin' ground."
