The historical John Hardy killed a man during a craps game, was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and was hanged on January 19, 1894. The song has been performed by Roscoe Holcomb, Leadbelly (Huddie William Ledbetter), the Carter Family, Tommy Jarrell, the Kingston Trio (who called it "Getaway John"), Bob Dylan, Silver Apples, Uncle Tupelo, The Gun Club, George Thorogood, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie (who called the song "Johnny Hart"), Jerry Reed, Tony Rice, Bill Frisell (both as a solo artist and with Petra Haden), Chris Smither, Martin Simpson, Buell Kazee, Burl Ives, Hugo Race & The True Spirit, banjo player Dock Boggs, and Austin Singer/Songwriter Michael Fracasso among others.<br /><br />The first known recording is by Eva Davis on Columbia Records in 1924. As with other folk songs, lyrics change from version to version.<br /><br />John Hardy - Lyrics:<br /><br />John Hardy was a desperate little man<br />He carried two guns every day<br />He killed a man in a Shawnee camp<br />You ought to seen John Hardy gettin' away, poor boy<br />You ought to seen John Hardy gettin' away<br /><br />John Hardy was standing at the barroom door<br />Showing no interest in the game<br />Up stepped a woman with a dollar in her hand<br />Saying, Deal John Hardy in the game, poor boy<br />Deal John Hardy in the game<br /><br />John Hardy took that yellow gal's money<br />And then he began to play<br />Sayin', The man that wins my yellow gal's dollar<br />I'll lay him in his lonesome grave, poor boy<br />I'll lay him in his lonesome grave<br /><br />John Hardy drew a four card straight<br />And the cowboy drew two a pair<br />John failed to catch and the cowboy won<br />And he left him sitting dead in his chair, poor boy<br />He left him sitting dead in his chair<br /><br />John Hardy made for the Coalsburg train<br />So dark he could hardly see<br />Up stepped the constable and took him by the arm<br />Saying, Johnny won't you come and go with me, poor boy<br />Johnny won't you come and go with me<br /><br />I've been to the East and I've been to the West<br />I've been this wide world around<br />I've been to the river and I've been baptized<br />And now I'm on my hanging ground, poor boy<br />Now I'm on my hanging ground<br /><br />They took him to the scaffold high<br />They hung him there to die<br />The last words that John Hardy said<br />Was, "My forty-four never lies," poor boy<br />"My forty-four never lies."<br /><br />PS: Love your stuff!!Royal Cyclopsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-81294835846802602372010-04-27T13:03:36.203-07:002010-04-27T13:03:36.203-07:00georg: Bonjour and long time no see.

This is a quite a post here, and I was thrilled to read of the Starbucks Experience, especially since I've always been fascinated by it's success story. I am no fan of Starbucks Coffee as it's too bitter even with extra artificial sweeteners. But there's no denying it's a mighty franchise, with so many outlets in Manhattan alone. Some stores are now even offering internet access.<br /><br />This is one of this blog's great posts, blending together an entire "experience" and it's beautifully designed.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33534796.post-11399482147540940962010-03-08T04:05:11.288-08:002010-03-08T04:05:11.288-08:00Not a Starbuck user...ever!
