Getaway John (From the Album The Kingston Trio at Large) |
John Hardy was a fightin' man, carried a razor ev’ry day |
He killed a man in Mobile town |
You ought to see my Johnny get away |
Ought to see my Johnny |
Getaway, getaway, getaway, getaway, Poor John |
John Hardy was standin' at the bar, so drunk he could not see |
Along came a man with a warrant in his hand |
Crying, «Johnny boy, why don’t you come with me? |
Johnny boy, why don’t you come with me?» |
John Hardy had a pretty little gal, kept her dressed in blue |
He saw her in the hangin' crowd |
Cryin', «Johnny boy, I’ll be true to you. |
Johnny boy, I’ll be true to you |
True to you. |
True to you. |
True to you. |
Poor, John.» |
I’ve been to the East and I’ve been to the West, been this whole world 'round. |
I’ve been to the North and I lived in the South |
This will be my buryin' ground. |
This will be my buryin' ground |
I’ve been this wide world over |
Been this whole world 'round |
Been to the river and I’ve been baptized |
Take me to my buryin' ground |
Getaway, getaway, getaway |
