Song Lyrics
Johnny come and go with me john hardy had a mother and a father too, there was not no bail out for a murdering man, they shaved john hardy back in jail
and they shaved john hardy back in jail
there he thought he would be free
Johnny ive been true to you, i ve been to the east i ve been to the west
i ve been this whole wide world round
They shaved john hardy back in jail poor boy, he shot a man on the west virginia line
John hardy he was a desperate little man, ive been the death of a many poor boy, i ve been to the east river and i ve been baptised
And they shaved john hardy back in jail poor boy, might have seen john hardy getting away poor boy
Johnny ive been true to you, john hardy went up upon that freestone bridge
She came to the jailhouse with a loud shout, now take me to my hanging ground lord now
I ve been to the east river and i ve been baptised, and now i am ready to die
He sent for them to come and go his bail, johnny ive been true to you, go ahead and die
She came to the jailhouse with a loud shout, i ve been to the east river and i ve been baptised, john hardy had a purdy little wife
Johnny come and go with me john hardy had a mother and a father too, she came to the jailhouse with a loud shout, i ve been to the east river and i ve been baptised
Might have seen john hardy getting away poor boy, up stepped a deputy and he caught him by the arm Belly, now i am ready to die
and now i am ready to die
and now i am ready to die
they shaved john hardy back in jail
Ive been the death of a many poor boy, now i am ready to die
And now i am ready to die lord lord, with tears a rolling down his eye John, john hardy went up upon that freestone bridge
now take me to my hanging ground lord now
and they shaved john hardy back in jail poor boy
Might have seen john hardy getting away poor boy, saying johnny come and go with me poor boy
