John Hardy - The Carter Family[00:00:00]
John Hardy he 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 oughta seen John Hardy getting away[00:00:29]
John Hardy he got to the Keystone Bridge[00:00:36]
He thought that he would be free[00:00:40]
And up steps a man and takes him by his arm[00:00:44]
Saying "Johnny walk along with me"[00:00:48]
He sent for his papa and his mommy too[00:00:56]
To come and go his bail[00:01:00]
But money won't go a murdering case[00:01:04]
And they locked John Hardy back in jail[00:01:08]
John Hardy he had a pretty little girl[00:01:15]
The dress that she wore was blue[00:01:20]
And she came skipping through the old jail hall[00:01:24]
Saying "Poppy I've been true to you "[00:01:28]
John Hardy he had another little girl[00:01:35]
The dress she wore was red[00:01:39]
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground[00:01:43]
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[00:02:03]
And now I'm on my hanging ground[00:02:07]
John Hardy walked out on the scaffold high[00:02:15]
With his loving little wife by his side [00:02:19]
And the last words she heard poor Johnny say [00:02:23]
"I'll meet you in that sweet by-and-by"[00:02:27]
