Lyrics John Hardy - Leadbelly
John
Hardy,
he
was
a
desperate
little
man
Carried
two
guns
every
day
Shot
a
man
down
by
the
West
Virginia
line
They
saw
John
Hardy
get
away
They
saw
John
Hardy
get
away
They
cornered
John
Hardy
on
the
Tombstone
bridge
He
thought
that
he
was
free
'Til
a
deputy
sheriff
came
and
grabbed
him
by
the
arm
Said
"Johnny,
come
along
with
me"
"Johnny,
come
along
with
me"
John
Hardy,
he
stood
inside
his
cell
Tears
running
down
his
eyes
Said
"I've
seen
the
death
of
many
a
poor
boy
Now
I'm
ready
to
die
Now
I'm
ready
to
die"
Well,
I've
been
to
the
east
and
I've
been
to
the
west
I've
been
the
whole
world
round
I've
been
to
the
north
and
I've
been
to
the
south
Now
I'm
going
to
my
hanging
ground
I'm
going
to
my
hanging
ground
