《John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man》歌词

[00:00:00] John Hardy Was a Desperate Little Man - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:17] John Hardy was a desperate little man

[00:00:21] He carried two guns every day

[00:00:25] He shot a man on the West Virginia line

[00:00:29] And you ought to see John Hardy getting away

[00:00:37] John Hardy got to the east stone bridge

[00:00:41] He thought that he would be free

[00:00:45] And up stepped a man and took him by the arm

[00:00:49] Saying Johnny walk along with me

[00:00:56] He sent for his poppy and his mommy too

[00:01:01] To come and go his bail

[00:01:05] But money won't go on a murdering case

[00:01:09] And they locked John Hardy back in jail

[00:01:16] John Hardy had a pretty little girl

[00:01:21] The dress that she wore was blue

[00:01:24] As she came skipping through the old jail hall

[00:01:29] Saying Poppy I been true to you

[00:01:36] John Hardy had another little girl

[00:01:40] The dress that she wore was red

[00:01:44] She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground

[00:01:49] Saying Poppy I would rather be dead

[00:01:56] I've been to the east and I've been to the west

[00:02:00] I've been this wide world around

[00:02:04] I've been to the river and I've been baptized

[00:02:08] And I'm on my hanging ground

[00:02:16] John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high

[00:02:20] With his loving little wife by his side

[00:02:24] And the last words she heard poor John-O say

[00:02:28] I'll meet you in that sweet bye and bye
