John Hardy here was a desperate little man Carried two guns every day He shot a man on the West Virginia line And I’ve seen John Hardy getting away oh boy I’ve seen John Hardy getting away
And John Hardy went to the Keystone bridge He thought that he was free Upstepped the deputy and he caught him by the arm
He said: John Hardy come and go with me oh boy John Hardy come and go with me John Hardy come and go with me oh boy John Hardy come and go with me
John Hardy had a mother and a dad Get down to come and go as bad There was no bell for the murdering man
They chased John Hardy back in jail oh boy They chased John Hardy back in jail They chased John Hardy back in jail oh boy They chased John Hardy back in jail
That John Hardy had a pretty little wife Dressed like she wore the blue She came to the jailhouse with a loud loud shout
John Hardy I’ve been true to you oh boy John Hardy I’ve been true to you Yes, Johnny I’ve been true to you oh boy Johnny I’ve been true to you
John Hardy, he was standing in his cell With tears rolling down his eyes Been at the death of many poor men
Now I’m ready to die oh boy Now I’m ready to die Now I’m ready to die oh boy Now I’m ready to die
Been to the east, I’ve been to the west I’ve been the whole world around Been to the river and I’ve been baptized
Take me to my hanging ground, Lord, Lord Take me to my hanging ground
And John Hardy walked out on the sky full high Pretty little wife by his side And the last word she heard for John old sake
