John Hardy - Gun Club

John Hardy was a vicious little man he carried two guns every day
He shot down a man on the
West Virginia line

He thought he was free a death to men called nobody his own siad
Johnny come and go with me poor boy Johnny come and go with me
John Hardy had a pretty little wife back home the dress
That she wore was blue she come to the jailhouse with a loud shout said
Johnny I've been true to you
Poor boy Johnny I've been true to you she said
John Hardy sent out to the
East Coast sent for his folks to come and go his bail but
There was no bail allowed for the murderin' man they sent
John Hardy back to jail sent
John Hardy back to jail
Who's going to shoe your pretty little feet
Who's gonna glove your hand
Who's gonna kiss your rosy red cheek
It's gonna be that steel drivin' man be that steel drivin' man she said
Now he's sittin' alone there in his cell tears rolling down his eyes
He's been the death of many a poor man
Now he is ready to die poor boy
Now he is ready to die
Sigin' I've been to the east I've been to the west
I've seen this whole wide world around
I've been to the river and I've been baptized
Take me to my hanging in the ground
Take me to my hanging in the ground she said
