No happy endings in a folk song...

Love Leadbelly's version.

John Hardy Was A Desperate Little Man - The Carter Family [Virginia] - 1928 - "AMG pick. After shooting a co-worker over 25 cents in a crap game at the Shawnee Coal Company camp in 1893, he was spirited away by authorities just before the arrival of a lynch mob (he was black, while the victim was white)." - Anthology Of American Folk Music, Vol. 1B: Ballads (Smithsonian Folkways)-1997.

love this melody it's the same as in Woody Guthries Tom Joad - it doesn't matter who was first at that time everybody ripped off everybody I guess - great song

This comment has received too many negative votes show
where is the light show and backup dancers?? Those chicks aren't sexy at all. They needed to make a music video then people would like their music more. I like Hillary duff and Miley cyrus more. I thought this was nick carter. I clicked on the wrong video

just so you know, this was long before television was widely available & music videos just weren't made for this very reason. also, they may not be "sexy" but they are very very good singer/instrumentalists
