Текст песни: John Hardy + перевод

Now John Hardy was a desperate little man,

strapped on his guns everday…

Shot down a man on the West Virginia line…

Oughta see John Hardy gettin' away,

you oughta see John Hardy gettin' away…

Well he run up to Virginia round the East Stone bridge,

thought he surely would be free…

And along came a marshal with a gun in his hand…

Said Johnny come along with me,

Johnny come along with me…

Alison solo (video) Tony Rice solo on (cd «Cold on the Shoulder»)

Tony solo (video) Sam Bush solo on (cd)

Now John Hardy had himself a little woman,

and the dress she wore was blue…

And she hollared out to Johnny as he rolled on out-of-town…

Johnny I’ll be true to you,

honey I’ll be true to you…

Now they searched and they travelled from the east to the west,

from north to the south end of town…

But when the sun comes up tomorrow they’ll take John Hardy down…

Show him to his hangin' ground…

they’re gonna let John Hardy swing down…

Jerry Douglas solo on (cd)

Bela Fleck solo on (cd)

John Hardy was a desperate little man,

strapped on his guns everyday…

Shot down a man on the West Virginia line…

Oughta see John Hardy gettin' away,

you oughta see John Hardy gettin' away…
