John Hardy, he was a desperate little man |
|
Carried two guns every day |
|
Shot a man down by the |
|
West Virginia line |
|
They saw John |
|
Hardy get away |
|
They saw John |
|
Hardy get away |
|
They cornered |
|
John Hardy on the |
|
Tombstone bridge |
|
He thought that he was free ' |
|
Til the deputy sheriff came and grabbed him by the arm |
|
Said "Johnny, come along with me" "Johnny, come along with me" |
|
John Hardy, he stood inside his cell |
|
Tears running down his eyes |
|
Said "I've seen the death of many a poor boy Now I'm ready to die Now I'm ready to die" |
|
Well, I've been to the east and |
|
I've been to the west |
|
I've been the whole world round |
|
I've been to the north and |
|
I've been to the south |
|
Now I'm going to my hanging ground |
|
I'm going to my hanging ground |
