Testo John Hardy - Mike Seeger
Testo della canzone John Hardy (Mike Seeger), tratta dall'album The Greenwich Village Folk Playlist
John Hardy was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
Killed him a man on the West Virginia line
You ought to see John Hardy getting away
Poor boy, seen John Hardy getting away
He went on across to the Easton Bridge
There he thought he'd be free
But up steps a sheriff and takes him by the arm
Says, "Johnny, come along with me
Poor boy, Johnny come along with me"
He sent for his mama and his papa too
To come and go his bail
But there weren't no bail on a murder charge
So they threw John Hardy back in jail
Threw John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy had a pretty little girl
And the dress that she wore was blue
She threw her arms around his neck
Said, "Daddy, I have always been true
Daddy, I have always been true"
I've been to the east and I've been to the west
Traveled this wide world around
Been to the river and I've been baptized
And I'm on my hanging ground
Yeah, I'm on my hanging ground
