mike seeger - john hardy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
john hardy was a desperate little man
he carried two guns every day
he k!ll him a man on the west virginia line
you ought to seen john hardy getting away, poor boy
seen john hardy getting away

[verse 2]
he went on across to the eaststone bridge
there he thought he’d be free
but up steps a sheriff and takes him by the arm
says, “johnny come along with me, poor boy”
johnny come along with me
[verse 3]
he sent for his mama and his papa too
to come and go his bail
but there were no bailout for a murder charge
so they threw john hardy back in jail
threw john hardy back in jail

[verse 4]
john hardy had a pretty little girl
and the dress that she wore was blue
she threw her arms around his neck
saying, “daddy, i have always been true”
daddy, i have always been true

[verse 5]
i’ve been to the east and i’ve been to the west
traveled this wide world around
i’ve been to that river and i’ve been baptized
and now i’m on my hanging ground
now i’m on my hanging ground
