John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man (Remaster) - The Carter Family[00:00:00]
Written by:Alvin Pleasant Delaney Carter[00:00:03]
John Hardy was a desperate little man[00:00:17]
He carried two guns every day[00:00:21]
He shot a man on the west virginia line[00:00:25]
And you ought to see John Hardy getting away[00:00:29]
John Hardy got to the east stone bridge[00:00:36]
He thought that he would be free[00:00:40]
And up stepped a man and took him by the arm[00:00:44]
Saying Johnny walk along with me[00:00:48]
He sent for his poppy and his mommy too[00:00:56]
To come and go his bail[00:01:00]
But money won't go on a murdering case[00:01:04]
And they locked John Hardy back in jail[00:01:08]
John Hardy had a pretty little girl[00:01:16]
The dress that she wore was blue[00:01:20]
As she came skipping through the old jail hall[00:01:24]
Saying poppy I been true to you[00:01:28]
John Hardy had another little girl[00:01:35]
The dress that she wore was red[00:01:40]
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground[00:01:44]
Saying poppy I would rather be dead[00:01:48]
I've been to the east and I've been to the west[00:01:55]
I've been this wide world around[00:01:59]
I've been to the river and I've been baptized[00:02:04]
And I'm on my hanging ground[00:02:08]
John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high[00:02:15]
With his loving little wife by his side[00:02:19]
And the last words she heard poor John o say[00:02:23]
I'll meet you in that sweet bye and bye[00:02:27]
