Текст и перевод песни Greenhorns - John Hardy

John Hardy

John Hardy to byl malej chudinka
Měl za pasem pár bouchaček
V západním pohraničí chlapa voddělal
Chtěl utýct bez voplejtaček
Chtěl utýct bez voplejtaček.

John Hardy nad karetním stolkem stál
A do hry nechtělo se mu
Nahnědlá holka dolar na stůl hodila
Rozdejte taky Hardymu
Rozdejte taky Hardymu.

John Hardy čtyry karty vytáhnul
A Číňan sebral jenom dvě
John vytáh moc tak Číňan shrábnul bank
A John mu pomoh do rakve
A John mu pomoh do rakve.

Chtěl chytit John vlak směrem na východ
Ve tmě si ale spletl trať
Najednou cítí ruku šerifa
Já musím želízka ti dát
Já musím želízka ti dát.

Přivedli Johna pod šibenici
A zbejvala jen chvilička
Já zaslech jeho slova poslední
Pravdu má jenom bouchačka
Pravdu má jenom bouchačka ...

John Hardy

John Hardy was a hard working man
With a pistola in his hand
On the Western trail he shot a man
And tried to run away
And tried to run away.

John Hardy stood by the gambling table
And he didn't want to play
A brown-skinned girl dropped a silver dollar
Deal Hardy in
Deal Hardy in.

John Hardy drawed four cards
And the Chinaman drawed two
John drawed a straight and the Chinaman won the pot
And John put him in the box
And John put him in the box.

John Hardy tried to catch a train to the East
But his luck had run out
When the sheriff's posse caught up with me
You got to put these shackles on
You got to put these shackles on.

They brought John out to the scaffold
And his time had almost come
And I heard him say these very last words
The hangman holds the truth in his hand
The hangman holds the truth in his hand...
