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
