John Hardy - The Carter Family
John Hardy he was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
He shot a man on the West Virginia line
And you oughta seen John Hardy getting away

John Hardy he got to the Keystone Bridge
He thought that he would be free
And up steps a man and takes him by his arm
Saying "Johnny walk along with me"

He sent for his papa and his mommy too
To come and go his bail
But money won't go a murdering case
And they locked John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy he had a pretty little girl
The dress that she wore was blue
And she came skipping through the old jail hall
Saying "Poppy I've been true to you "

John Hardy he had another little girl
The dress she wore was red
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground
Saying "Poppy I would rather be dead"

I've been to the east and I've been to the west
I've been this wide world around
I've been to the river and I've been baptized
And now I'm on my hanging ground

John Hardy walked out on the scaffold high
With his loving little wife by his side
And the last words she heard poor Johnny say
"I'll meet you in that sweet by-and-by"
