John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man - The Carter Family (卡特家族)[00:00:00]
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[00:00:37]
He thought that he would be free[00:00:41]
And up stepped a man and took him by the arm[00:00:45]
Saying Johnny walk along with me[00:00:49]
He sent for his poppy and his mommy too[00:00:56]
To come and go his bail[00:01:01]
But money won't go on a murdering case[00:01:05]
And they locked John Hardy back in jail[00:01:09]
John Hardy had a pretty little girl[00:01:16]
The dress that she wore was blue[00:01:21]
As she came skipping through the old jail hall[00:01:24]
Saying Poppy I been true to you[00:01:29]
John Hardy had another little girl[00:01:36]
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[00:01:49]
I've been to the east and I've been to the west[00:01:56]
I've been this wide world around[00:02:00]
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[00:02:16]
With his loving little wife by his side[00:02:20]
And the last words she heard poor John-O say[00:02:24]
I'll meet you in that sweet bye and bye[00:02:28]
