Get Away John |
| 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 |
