Biografía:
The Carter Family es el grupo más influyente en la historia de la música country (conocida por entonces como Hillbilly). Su catálogo de cientos de canciones británicas/apalaches, descubiertas y arregladas por el patriarca de la familia A.P. Carter, se convirtió en la Biblia de la música country. Junto a su esposa Sara como voz y su cuñada como guitarrista/vocalista, Maybelle (que patentó técnicas para tocar que aún se utilizan), Carter grabó cientos de canciones para sellos como Victor and Decca durante los años 30 y 40.

[Introduction]
C F C F C F C G7 C
[Verse 1]
F C
John Hardy was a desperate little man,
F C
He carried two guns every day.
F C
He shot a man on the West Virginia line,
C G7 C G7 C
And you oughta seen John Hardy getting away.
[Verse 2]
F C
John Hardy, he got to the East Stone Bridge,
F C
He thought that he would be free.
F C
And up stepped a man and took him by the arm,
C G7 C G7 C
Saying, “Johnny, walk along with me !”
[Verse 3]
F C
He sent for his poppy and his mommy, too,
F C
to come and go his bail.
F C
But money won't go a murdering case,
C G7 C G7 C
and they locked John Hardy back in jail.
[Verse 4]
F C
John Hardy, he had a pretty little girl,
F C
that dress that she wore was blue,
F C
as she came skipping through the old jail hall,
C G7 C G7 C
saying, “Poppy, I've been true to you!”
[Verse 5]
F C
John Hardy, he had another little girl,
F C
that dress that she wore was red.
F C
She followed John Hardy to his hanging ground,
C G7 C G7 C
saying “Poppy, I would rather be dead !”
[Verse 6]
F C
I've been to the East, and I've been to the West ,
F C
I've been this wide world around,
F C
I've been to the river and I've been baptized,
C G7 C G7 C
and now I'm on my hanging ground.
[Verse 7]
F C
John Hardy walked out on his scaffold high,
F C
with his loving little wife by his side.
F C
And the last word she heard poor Johnno say,
C G7 C G7 C
“I'll meet you in that sweet by-and-by. “
