Dock Boggs - John Hardy lyrics

Oh little John Hardy was a bad little man He carried two guns every day He shot him a man in Chinatown Ought to saw John Hardy make his getaway To saw John Hardy make his getaway He run 'til he got to the East bound bridge Oh the East bound train was late Up walked an old policeman and caught him by the arm Said, "John Hardy, come and go with me, Lord, Lord John Hardy, come go with me" I've been to the East and I've been to the West I've been this whole world around I've been to the river and I've been baptized And now I'm a-going to my hanging ground Oh now, I'm going to my hanging ground
