John Hardy(original) |
John Hardy was a desperate little man |
He carried two guns every day |
He shot a man on the West Virginia line |
And you ought to see John Hardy getting away |
John Hardy got to the east stone bridge |
He thought that he would be free |
And up stepped a man and took him by his arm |
Saying Johnny, walk along with me He sent for his poppy and his mommy too |
To come and go his bail |
But money won’t go a murdering case |
And they locked John Hardy back in jail |
John Hardy had a pretty little girl |
That dress that she wore was blue |
As she came skipping through the old jail hall |
Saying Poppy, I been true to you |
John Hardy had another little girl |
That dress that she wore was red |
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground |
Saying Poppy, I would rather be dead |
«I've been to the east and I’ve been to the west |
I’ve been this wide world around |
I’ve been to the river and I’ve been baptized |
And it’s now I’m on my hanging ground» |
John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high |
With his loving little wife by his side |
And the last words she heard poor John-O say |
«I‘ll meet you in that sweet bye and bye» |
(traducción) |
John Hardy era un hombrecito desesperado |
Llevaba dos armas todos los días. |
Le disparó a un hombre en la línea de West Virginia |
Y deberías ver a John Hardy escapar |
John Hardy llegó al puente de piedra del este |
Pensó que sería libre |
Y se acercó a un hombre y lo tomó por el brazo |
Diciendo Johnny, camina conmigo Mandó a buscar a su amapola y a su mami también |
Para ir y venir su fianza |
Pero el dinero no irá a un caso de asesinato |
Y volvieron a encerrar a John Hardy en la cárcel |
John Hardy tenía una niña bonita |
Ese vestido que llevaba era azul. |
Mientras ella venía saltando por el antiguo pasillo de la cárcel |
Diciendo Poppy, te he sido fiel |
John Hardy tuvo otra niña |
Ese vestido que llevaba era rojo. |
Siguió a John Hardy a su terreno colgante |
Diciendo Poppy, preferiría estar muerta |
«He estado en el este y he estado en el oeste |
He estado en este ancho mundo alrededor |
He estado en el río y me han bautizado |
Y es que ahora estoy en mi terreno de espera» |
John Hardy salió de su andamio alto |
Con su amada pequeña esposa a su lado |
Y las últimas palabras que escuchó decir al pobre John-O |
«Te encontraré en ese dulce adiós y adiós» |
