John Hardy Lyrics

[00:23.73]	John Hardy, he was a desperate little man
[00:26.10]	He carried two guns every day
[00:31.11]	He shot a man on the West Virginia line
[00:34.32]	I seen John Hardy getting’ away poor boy
[00:38.91]	I seen John Hardy getting’ away
[00:42.12]	John Hardy went up on that Freestone bridge
[00:47.37]	He thought he was free
[00:51.81]	Up came a man and he caught him by the arm
[00:54.15]	Said "Johnny, come and go with me poor boy,
[01:06.78]	Johnny, come and go with me"
[01:10.62]	John Hardy had a mother and a father too
[01:15.18]	He begged them to come and go his bail
[01:19.14]	There was no bail allowed for the murderin’ man
[01:22.20]	They chased John Hardy back in jail poor boy
[01:26.10]	They chased John Hardy back in jail
[01:30.90]	John Hardy he had a pretty little wife
[01:41.88]	And the dress she wore was blue
[01:45.48]	She come to the jailhouse with a loud shout
[01:49.26]	Said “Johnny I been true to you poor boy,
[01:53.76]	Johnny I been true to you”
[02:05.07]	John Hardy, was standing in his cell
[02:09.93]	And tears are rollin’ down his eyes
[02:11.52]	Said, "I have been at the death of many a poor man
[02:17.04]	And now I am ready to die poor boy
[02:24.84]	And now I am ready to die"
[02:52.59]	I’ve been to the east I've been to the west
[02:56.28]	I've been the whole wide world around
[03:01.32]	I've been to the river and I've been to baptized
[03:04.05]	Take me to my hanging ground Lord, Lord
[03:07.95]	And take me to my hanging ground
