[Verse 1]
[D]Joh[Bm]nny H[D]ar[Bm]t,[D]
[Bm]he was a[D] desperate little man,
carried a [Bm]gun and a razor every [D]day.
Cut [G]down a man [Bm]on the
[D]free state line,
you ought to have seen
Johnny Hart getting away.
Poor boy, you ought to have seen
Johnny Hart getting away.
Johnny [Bm]Hart made a run for
that [D]free state line,
there [Bm]he thought h[D]e'd be free.
[Bm]But a man come a -walkin',
and he [D]grabbed him by his arm
Singin', Johnny walk along with me,
poor boy, Johnny walk along with me
Johnny [Bm]Hart,
he wrote [D]his mammy and his dad
Singin', [Bm]come here and go my [D]bail
But [G]money wouldn't go
[D]his murdering charge
So they laid Johnny Hart back in jail,
yes Lord, they laid Johnny Hart back in jail
Now the first [Bm]one to visit
Johnny [D]Hart in jail
was a [G]girl with a rag [D]on her head
Said, I [G]never thought I'd
live to [D]see you in a jail
I believe I had rather see you dead,
Johnny Hart
I believe I had rather see you dead
Now the [Bm]next one [G]to [Bm]visit
Johnny [D]Hart in jail
was his loving [G]little wife so [D]brave
Said, I'd rather [Bm]to se[G]e you
[Bm]in your wi[D]nding sheet
And to see you on that long rattling chain,
great God, to see you on that
long rattling chain.
Johnny Hart, [Bm]he stood in[D] his jail cell,
and the [G]tears running down [Bm]from his [D]eyes
said, I've [Bm]been the death of
a [D]many a deputy, sure,
but my six -shooter never told a lie.
God knows, my six -shooter never told a lie.
I have run [Bm]to the east,
I have [D]run to the west,
run [G]just as far as I [D]can.
If I [Bm]ever get loose from this [D]ball and chain,
I'm gonna make it for that
free state line,
great God, make it for that
free state line.
You've got [Bm]guards to the east,
got [D]guards to the west,
got guards [Bm]this whole [D]world round.
But be[Bm]fore I'd be a [G]slave,
[Bm]I'd [D]rot in my grave.
You can take me to my hanging ground,
Mr. Jailer, take me to my hanging
[Bm]ground.[D][Bm]
You
