JohCn Hardy oh he was Ga desperate little man CCarried a gun everyGday Well he Cshot down a man on a GWest Virginia line
They seen John Hardy gettin' away, poor boy, Seen John Hardy gettin' away
But Cthey cornered John Hardy on a Gtombstone bridge CThought that he was Gfree CBut a deputy sheriff came and Gcaught him by the arm
He said, Johnny come and go with me, poor boy, Johnny come and go with me
John CHardy had a mother and a Gfather too CTryin to go his Gbail CThere was no bail out Gfor the mother and man
They put ole John Hardy back in jail, poor boy, Throw John Hardy back in jail
John CHardy He had a Gpretty little wife CThe dress that she wore was Gblue CShe ran through the jailhouse, she Gfell down on her knees
She said Johnny I been true to you, yes I have, Johnny I been true to you
John CHardy he stood inGside his cell CThe tears are rollin from his Geyes CI've been the death of Gmany an honest man
Now I am going to die alone, now I am goin to die
Well I've Cbeen to the east, and I've Gbeen to the west CI've been this whole wide Gworld round CI've been to the north, and I've Gbeen way down south
Now take me to my hangman's ground Oh Lord, Take me to my hangman's ground
