John Hardy
Now John Hardy was a desperate little man
Strapped on his guns every day
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
You oughta see John Hardy get away
You oughta see John Hardy get away
He run up to Virginia around the east stone bridge
Thought he would surely be free
And along came a marshall with a gun in his hand
Said Johnny come along with me boy
The judge wants to see you boy come along with me
[ guitar ]
Now John Hardy had himself a little woman
The dress she wore was blue
She hollered on out to Johnny as he rode out of town
Johnny I'll be true to you boy
Johnny I'll be true to you
Well his legend had 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 down
[ banjo - guitar ]
John Hardy
Ahora John Hardy era un hombrecito desesperado
Atado a sus armas todos los días
Dispararon a un hombre en la línea West Virginia
Deberías ver escapar a John Hardy
Deberías ver escapar a John Hardy
Corre hasta Virginia alrededor del puente de piedra este
Pensé que seguramente sería libre
Y vino un marshall con un arma en la mano
Dijo que Johnny venga conmigo, chico
El juez quiere verte venir conmigo
[guitarra]
Ahora John Hardy tenía a sí mismo una mujer pequeña
El vestido que llevaba era azul
Le gritó a Johnny mientras salía de la ciudad
Johnny, te seré fiel, chico
Johnny, seré fiel a ti
Bueno, su leyenda había viajado de este a oeste
Desde el norte hasta el extremo sur de la ciudad
Pero cuando salga el sol mañana llevarán a John Hardy
Y muéstralo a su cuelga
Van a dejar que John Hardy se balancee
[banjo - guitarra]
