John Hardy, he was a desperate boy
He hailed from Richmond, VA
They cried 'cause he bruised his trigger finger
Just a-plucking for good friends in a day
He carried a razor in his portmanteau
He's a clean-shaven son of a gun
When the law came down to try to lay him low
Well you oughta see John Hardy run
You'd have thought that the wind was a cousin to him
When he made his bold getaway
By the feather stitches on his leather britches
He flew right out of Richmond, VA
Yes he flew right out of Richmond, VA
He had a little sweetheart named Claudia Dare
She stood about up to his knee
John said "little darling, if you really care
You must wait about ten years for me"
Ten years later, almost to the day
Claudia came looking for her man
She had her trousseau in a carrying sack
And her long white bridal veil on
And along in tow was the justice of the peace
And a methodist minister beside
Said John "I ain't got no religion or law
But I promised you and you'll be my bride
Yes I promised you and you'll be my bride
"Well that's real good of you," she said
"I ain't got no time to waste
I always knew you'd be a man of your word
But I brought this shotgun just in case"
Well baby, we're gonna p*** that gun
We'll get five bucks a barrel down town
And then I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
You can wear it till they gun me down
You can wear it till they gun me down
You can wear it till they gun me down
