"John Hardy" is a traditional American folk song based on the life of a railroad worker living in McDowell County, West Virginia in the Spring of 1893. The historical John Hardy got into a drunken dispute during a craps game held near Keystone and killed a man named Thomas Drews. Hardy was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and was hanged on January 19, 1894. Three Thousand people attended Hardy's hanging. The morning before his death, he requested to be (and was) baptized in the river, hoping to redeem his soul..

PUBLIC DOMAIN - JOHN HARDY

CHUCK BERRY DIED AND NOBODY CRIED
NO ONE EVEN KNEW WHO HE WAS
I WAS WORKIN’ WITH MILLENNIALS 
FEELING TOO CYNICAL
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL

HE STARTED IT ALL THEN WATCHED IT ALL FALL
BEFORE HE WAS LOWERED IN HIS GRAVE
SEX PISTOLS COVERED HIM
MUDDY WATERS FATHERED HIM
BUT NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL

IT’S LIKE JAZZ (NOT HERE)
IT’S LIKE FOLK (NOT NOW)
IT’S LIKE BLUES (NOT HERE)
IT’S LIKE BAROQUE (NOT NOW)
IT’S LIKE PUNK (NOT HERE)
IT’S LIKE THE WALZ (NOT NOW)
IT’S LIKE GONE (NOT HERE)
NO GREAT LOSS (NOT NOW)

IN THE MUSEUMS, IN THE HALL OF FAME, 
CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE CLASS
CBGB’S UNDER GLASS
NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ROCK AND ROLL
