Might have seen John hardy getting away[00:00:38]
John hardy went up upon that freestone bridge[00:01:03]
Thought he would be free[00:01:07]
Up stepped a man and caught him by the arm[00:01:11]
Saying johnny come and go with me poor boy[00:01:15]
Johnny come and go with me[00:01:19]
John hardy had a mother and a father too[00:01:43]
He sent for them to come and go his bail[00:01:47]
There was no bail out for a murdering man[00:01:51]
They shaved John hardy back in jail poor boy[00:01:55]
And shaved John hardy back in jail[00:01:59]
John hardy he had a purdy little wife[00:02:22]
And that she wore what blew[00:02:26]
She came to the jailhouse with a loud shout[00:02:30]
Saying Johnny I've been true to you poor boy[00:02:34]
And Johnny I've been true to you[00:02:38]
John hardy was standing in his cell[00:03:00]
With tears a rolling down his eye[00:03:04]
And I've been the death of a many poor man[00:03:08]
And now I am ready to die poor boy[00:03:12]
And now I am ready to die[00:03:16]
I've been to the east I've been to the west[00:03:38]
I've been this whole wide world round[00:03:42]
I've been to the river and I've been baptised[00:03:46]
Now take me to my hanging ground Lord Lord[00:03:50]
And take me to my hanging ground[00:03:53]
