john hardy lyrics
[verse 1]
john hardy was a brave and a desperated guy
and he carried his gun ev’ry day
but he k!lled a man there in shawnee town
and i saw john hardy gettin’ away, poor boy

[verse 2]
they arrested him down at the banks last summer
and they carried him back to welch
and there is no bail for the murder of the man
and they locked john hardy back in jail, poor boy

[verse 3]
john hardy’s friends they were standin’ around
i’m afraid john hardy’s goin’ to hang
well, the judge turned around, and he looked johnny down
“john hardy’s is banished to be hung, poor boy”

[verse 4]
john hardy’s father, he was standin’ by
“oh, son, what have you donе?”
“i k!lled my partner for fifty cents
and thеy say today i’m to be hung, poor boy”

[verse 5]
john hardy’s mother, she was standin’ by
“oh, son, what have you done?”
“but for the sake of that black+eyed girl
that you know he’ll never lie to his gun, poor boy”
[verse 6]
“i’ve been to the east, and i’ve been to the west
i’ve traveled this wide world around
i’ve been to the river, and i’ve been baptized
and today i’m goin’ to my hangin’ ground, poor boy”

[verse 7]
“oh sister, oh sister, come stand by my side
while my brain is goin’ home
you never shall forget these words you’ve heard
and you heard john hardy’s song, lord, lord”

[verse 8]
“they put that cowl hood up over my face
no more shall i see
and when i am in my solemn tomb
that for some time i will be, lord, lord”

[verse 9]
john hardy, he had one pretty little thing
and she always dressed in lace
“but the note i found on my hangin’ ground
‘oh, john i wish i’d kissed your face, poor boy'”
