John Hardy |
John Hardy was a fightin' man |
Carried a razor everyday |
Well he killed a man in Mobile town |
You ought to see my Johnny get away |
Ought to see my Johnny get away |
Well get away, get away |
Poor John, 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 |
Cryin' Johnny boy why don’t you come with me |
Johnny boy why don’t you come with me |
Well get away, get away |
Poor John, poor John |
John Hardy had a pretty little girl |
Kept her dressed in blue |
Saw her in the hangin' crowd |
Cryin' Johnny boy I’ll be true to you |
Johnny boy I’ll be true to you |
Well get away, get away |
Poor John, poor John |
I’ve been to the north and I’ve been to the south |
Been this whole world 'round |
Well I’ve lived in the east and I’ve lived in the west |
And this will be my buryin' ground |
This will be my buryin' ground |
Yes I’ve been this wild world over |
Yes I’ve been this whole world 'round |
And I’ve been to the river |
And I’ve been baptized |
Take me to my buryin' grounds |
Well get away, get away |
Poor John, poor John, poor John |
