about

Solo acoustic version of John Hardy, the title track of my upcoming album, out in a couple of weeks.

lyrics

John Hardy was a mighty poor boy
He carried two guns everyday
He shot a man in West Virginia line
Won’t you see John Hardy getting away

He flew away to the East Stone Bridge
Thinking that he would be free
Police man came and grabbed him by the arm
Said: Johnny, come along with me

[Hare, Hare, Hare, Hare a
Hare, Hare a, Hare a] 2X

John Hardy had a pretty little girl
The dress she wore was blue
She came into the jailhouse and said
Johnny I’ll always love you

John Hardy he had another little girl
The dress she wore was red
She came into the jailhouse and said
Johnny I would rather be dead

Hare, Hare, Hare, Hare a
Hare, Hare a, Hare a] 2X

I’ve been to the East and I’ve been to the West
I’ve travelled this whole world ‘round
I’ve been to the Rockies and I’ve been baptized
Now I am on my hanging ground

Hare, Hare, Hare, Hare a
Hare, Hare a, Hare a] 4X

about

Guilherme Boisson Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

I learnt how to play the guitar twice. First from my grandpa, then from the records of Townes Van Zandt.
"Pick it!" That's what I always heard. And that is how I got the blues.

I guess one could call the music I make folk music. For me it's an attempt. I hope it gets to you. I hope you find something in it. And if you do, share it, pass it on.

Tnks, friend. And remember: "To live is to fly."
