John Hardy 歌词
John Hardy - Leadbelly
John Hardy he was a desperate little man
He carried two guns every day
He shot a man on the west v*rginia line
Might have seen John Hardy getting away poor boy
Might have seen John Hardy getting away
John Hardy went up upon that freestone bridge
There he thought he would be free
Up stepped a deputy and he caught him by the arm
Saying Johnny come and go with me poor boy
Johnny come and go with me
John Hardy had a mother and a father too
He sent for them to come and go his bail
There was not no bail out for a murdering man
They shaved John Hardy back in jail poor boy
And they shaved John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy had a purdy little wife
That mrs oh she wore what blew
She came to the jailhouse with a loud shout
She saying Johnny i've been true to you poor boy
Johnny i've been true to you
John Hardy was standing in his cell
With tears a rolling down his eye
I've been the death of a many poor boy
And now i am ready to die lord lord
Now i am ready to die
I've been to the east i've been to the west
I've been this whole wide world round
I've been to the east river and i've been baptised
Now take me to my hanging ground lord now
Take me to my hanging ground
