[Intro]
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
Poor John
[Verse 1]
John Hardy was a fightin' man
Carried a razor ev'ry day
He killed a man in Mobile town
You ought to see my Johnny get away
Ought to see my Johnny get away
[Chorus]
Get away, get away, get away
Poor John
[Verse 2]
John Hardy was standin' at the bar
So drunk he could not see
Along came a man with a warrant in his hand
Cryin', "Johnny boy, why don't you come with me?
Johnny boy, why don't you come with me?"
[Verse 3]
John Hardy had a pretty little gal
Kept her dressed in blue
He saw her in the hangin' crowd
Cryin', "Johnny boy, I'll be true to you
Johnny boy, I'll be true to you
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
Poor John
[Verse 1]
John Hardy was a fightin' man
Carried a razor ev'ry day
He killed a man in Mobile town
You ought to see my Johnny get away
Ought to see my Johnny get away
[Chorus]
Get away, get away, get away
Poor John
[Verse 2]
John Hardy was standin' at the bar
So drunk he could not see
Along came a man with a warrant in his hand
Cryin', "Johnny boy, why don't you come with me?
Johnny boy, why don't you come with me?"
[Verse 3]
John Hardy had a pretty little gal
Kept her dressed in blue
He saw her in the hangin' crowd
Cryin', "Johnny boy, I'll be true to you
Johnny boy, I'll be true to you
