the tarriers – john hardy lyrics
[refrain]
you ought to see john hardy gettin’ away, poor boy
see john hardy gettin’ away
[verse 1]
john hardy was a desperate little man
he carried a gun every day
he k!lled a man on the blue mountain line
you ought to see john hardy gettin’ away, poor boy
see john hardy gettin’ away
[verse 2]
john started to catch that east+bound train
so dark he could not see
along came a police and took him by the hand
he said, “john hardy, come and go along with me”, poor boy
“john hardy, come and go along with me”
[banjo solo]
[refrain]
he said, “john hardy, come and go along with me”, poor boy
“john hardy, come and go along with me”
[verse 3]
john hardy’s father came to him
he came for to go his bail
but they wouldn’t give bail to a murderin’ man
so, they throwed john hardy back in jail, poor boy
thеy throwed john hardy back in jail
[verse 4]
they took john hardy to a hanging ground
hung him therе to die
the very last words i heard him say
“i want a cool drink of water ‘fore i die, lord god
a cool drink of water ‘fore i die”
[refrain]
“i want a cool drink of water ‘fore i die, lord god
a cool drink of water ‘fore i die”
[banjo solo]
[refrain]
“i want a cool drink of water ‘fore i die, lord god
a cool drink of water ‘fore i die
i want a cool drink of water ‘fore i die, lord god
cool drink of water ‘fore i die”
