Getaway John - The Kingston Trio

作曲：Dave Gard

Getaway getaway getaway getaway Poor John

John Hardy was a fightin' man

Carried a razor every day

He killed a man in Mobile town

You ought to see my Johnny get away

Ought to see my Johnny

Getaway getaway getaway getaway Poor John

John Hardy was standin' at the bar

So drunk he could not see

Along came a man with a warrant in his hand

Crying Johnny boy why don't you come with me

Johnny boy why don't you come with me

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

True to you True to you True to you Poor John

I've been to the East and I've been to the West

Been this whole world around

I've been to the North and I lived in the South

This will be my buryin' ground

This will be my buryin' ground

I've been this wide world over

Been this whole world around

Been to the river and I've been baptized

Take me to my buryin' ground

Getaway getaway getaway
