| Johnny Hart he was a desperate little man
|
| He had a razor and a pistol every day
|
| Cut down a man on the free state line
|
| You shoulda seen Johnny Hart getting away, oh Lord
|
| See Johnny Hart getting away
|
| Johnny Hart made a run for the free state line
|
| There he thought he’d be free
|
| Man came walking and a-grabbed him by the arm
|
| Saying Johnny come along with me, poor boy
|
| Johnny come along with me
|
| Johnny Hart he wrote his mom and dad
|
| Saying come here and go my bail
|
| But money won’t go his murdering charge
|
| They laid Johnny Hart back in jail, oh Lord
|
| Laid Johnny Hart back in jail
|
| Now the first one to visit Johnny Hart in jail
|
| Was the girl with the rag on her head
|
| Said I never thought I’d see you in that jail
|
| I believe I’d rather see you dead, Johnny Hart
|
| I believe I’d rather see you dead
|
| Now the next one to visit Johnny Hart in jail
|
| Was his lively wife, she was so brave
|
| Said I’d rather see you in your winding sheets
|
| Than to see you on that long ragged chain, dear God
|
| See you on that long ragged chain
|
| Johnny Hart he stood in his jail cell
|
| And a tear ran down his eye
|
| Said I been the death of many deputy sheriff
|
| My six gun has never told a lie, no Lord
|
| My six gun has never told a lie
|
| Well, I’ve run to the east, I’ve run to the west
|
| I’ve run just as far as I can
|
| If I ever get lose from this ball and chain
|
| I’m gonna make it to the free state line, dear God
|
| Make it to the free state line
|
| You’ve guards to the east, guards to the west
|
| You got guards this whole world 'round
|
| But before I’ll be a slave, I’ll rot in your ground
|
| You can take me to my hanging ground, Mr. Jailor
|
| Take me to my hanging ground |
