《John Hardy》歌词

[00:00:00] John Hardy - The Carter Family (卡特家族)/Memphis Minnie (蔓菲斯蜜妮)

[00:00:17] John Hardy he 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 oughta seen John Hardy getting away

[00:00:36] John Hardy he got to the Keystone Bridge

[00:00:40] He thought that he would be free

[00:00:44] And up steps a man and takes him by his arm

[00:00:48] Saying "Johnny walk along with me"

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

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

[00:01:04] But money won't go a murdering case

[00:01:08] And they locked John Hardy back in jail

[00:01:15] John Hardy he had a pretty little girl

[00:01:20] The dress that she wore was blue

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

[00:01:28] Saying "Poppy I've been true to you "

[00:01:35] John Hardy he had another little girl

[00:01:39] The dress she wore was red

[00:01:43] She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground

[00:01:48] Saying "Poppy I would rather be dead"

[00:01:55] I've been to the east and I've been to the west

[00:01:59] I've been this wide world around

[00:02:03] I've been to the river and I've been baptized

[00:02:07] And now I'm on my hanging ground

[00:02:15] John Hardy walked out on the scaffold high

[00:02:19] With his loving little wife by his side

[00:02:23] And the last words she heard poor Johnny say

[00:02:27] "I'll meet you in that sweet by-and-by"
