John Hardy

Ahora John Hardy era un hombrecito desesperado
Now John Hardy was a desperate little man
Atado a sus armas todos los días
Strapped on his guns every day
Dispararon a un hombre en la línea West Virginia
Shot down a man on the West Virginia line
Deberías ver escapar a John Hardy
You oughta see John Hardy get away
Deberías ver escapar a John Hardy
You oughta see John Hardy get away

Corre hasta Virginia alrededor del puente de piedra este
He run up to Virginia around the east stone bridge
Pensé que seguramente sería libre
Thought he would surely be free
Y vino un marshall con un arma en la mano
And along came a marshall with a gun in his hand
Dijo que Johnny venga conmigo, chico
Said Johnny come along with me boy
El juez quiere verte venir conmigo
The judge wants to see you boy come along with me

Ahora John Hardy tenía a sí mismo una mujer pequeña
Now John Hardy had himself a little woman
El vestido que llevaba era azul
The dress she wore was blue
Le gritó a Johnny mientras salía de la ciudad
She hollered on out to Johnny as he rode out of town
Johnny, te seré fiel, chico
Johnny I'll be true to you boy
Johnny, seré fiel a ti
Johnny I'll be true to you

Bueno, su leyenda había viajado de este a oeste
Well his legend had traveled from the east to the west
Desde el norte hasta el extremo sur de la ciudad
From the north to the south end of town
Pero cuando salga el sol mañana llevarán a John Hardy
But when the sun comes up tomorrow they'll take John Hardy down
Y muéstralo a su cuelga
And show him to his hanging ground
Van a dejar que John Hardy se balancee
They're gonna let John Hardy swing down
