John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man - The Carter Family |
| [00:17.45] |
John Hardy was a desperate little man |
| [00:21.81] |
He carried two guns every day |
| [00:25.65] |
He shot a man on the West Virginia line |
| [00:29.83] |
And you ought to see John Hardy getting away |
| [00:35.03] |
|
| [00:37.10] |
John Hardy got to the east stone bridge |
| [00:41.29] |
He thought that he would be free |
| [00:45.18] |
And up stepped a man and took him by the arm |
| [00:49.45] |
Saying Johnny, walk along with me |
| [00:53.27] |
|
| [00:56.75] |
He sent for his poppy and his mommy too |
| [01:01.13] |
To come and go his bail |
| [01:04.77] |
But money won't go on a murdering case |
| [01:09.24] |
And they locked John Hardy back in jail |
| [01:13.66] |
|
| [01:16.55] |
John Hardy had a pretty little girl |
| [01:20.86] |
The dress that she wore was blue |
| [01:24.70] |
As she came skipping through the old jail hall |
| [01:29.03] |
Saying Poppy, I been true to you |
| [01:33.32] |
|
| [01:36.53] |
John Hardy had another little girl |
| [01:40.73] |
The dress that she wore was red |
| [01:44.60] |
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground |
| [01:48.93] |
Saying Poppy, I would rather be dead |
| [01:52.71] |
|
| [01:56.20] |
I've been to the east and I've been to the west |
| [02:00.62] |
I've been this wide world around |
| [02:04.51] |
I've been to the river and I've been baptized |
| [02:08.71] |
And I'm on my hanging ground |
| [02:13.41] |
|
| [02:16.12] |
John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high |
| [02:20.10] |
With his loving little wife by his side |
| [02:24.28] |
And the last words she heard poor John-O say |
| [02:28.49] |
I'll meet you in that sweet bye and bye |
| [02:32.45] |
