Текст песни John Hardy - Vassar Clements , Béla Fleck , Sam Bush , Jerry Douglas , Tony Rice

John Hardy was a desperate little man
Strapped on his guns every day
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
You ought to seen John Hardy get away
You ought to seen John Hardy get away

Well he ran up to Virginia 'round the East Stone Bridge
Thought he would surely be free
And along came a marshal with a gun in his hand
Said, "Johnny, come along with me
Johnny, come along with me"

John Hardy had himself a little woman
The dress she wore was blue
And she hollered out to Johnny as he rode on out of town
Said, "Johnny, I'll be true to you
Johnny, I'll be true to you"

Now it's legend he traveled from the east to the west
From the north to the south end of town
But when the sun comes up tomorrow they'll take John Hardy down
And show him to his hanging ground
They're gonna let John Hardy swing now

John Hardy was a desperate little man
Strapped on his guns every day
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
You ought to seen John Hardy get away
You ought to seen John Hardy get away
