๐ Lyrics
You people in the front row, feel free to clap
And the people in the back rows,
Feel free to clink your beer bottles
John Hardy, he was a desperate little man
Carried two guns every day
He robbed a man on the West Virginia line
And they watched John Hardy get away
He made it to the East stone bridge
Thought that he would go free
Up stepped the Sheriff, took him by the arm
Saying, "Johnny, walk along with me"
He called for his Mama and his Papa, too
Come and let go his bail
But none would handle a murder in trial
So they threw John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy, he had a pretty little girl
Dress that she wore was blue
She came a' prancing through the jailhouse cell
Saying "Poppy, I've been true to you"
John Hardy, he had another little girl
Dress that she wore was red
She followed him down to the hanging ground
Saying "Poppy, I would rather be dead"
I've been to the East, I've been to the West
I've been this wide world around
I've been to the river, and I've been about drowned
And now I'm on a hanging ground
John Hardy, he stood on a scaffold high
With his pretty little girl at his side
The last words she heard John Hardy say
Is "I'll meet you in the sweet by-and-by"
And the people in the back rows,
Feel free to clink your beer bottles
John Hardy, he was a desperate little man
Carried two guns every day
He robbed a man on the West Virginia line
And they watched John Hardy get away
He made it to the East stone bridge
Thought that he would go free
Up stepped the Sheriff, took him by the arm
Saying, "Johnny, walk along with me"
He called for his Mama and his Papa, too
Come and let go his bail
But none would handle a murder in trial
So they threw John Hardy back in jail
John Hardy, he had a pretty little girl
Dress that she wore was blue
She came a' prancing through the jailhouse cell
Saying "Poppy, I've been true to you"
John Hardy, he had another little girl
Dress that she wore was red
She followed him down to the hanging ground
Saying "Poppy, I would rather be dead"
I've been to the East, I've been to the West
I've been this wide world around
I've been to the river, and I've been about drowned
And now I'm on a hanging ground
John Hardy, he stood on a scaffold high
With his pretty little girl at his side
The last words she heard John Hardy say
Is "I'll meet you in the sweet by-and-by"
