The Ballad of John Henry |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Take this hammer carry it to the Captain, tell him why I’m gone |
| Take this hammer carry it to the Captain, tell him why I’m gone |
| I don’t want your cold iron shackles around my leg |
| I don’t want your cold iron shackles around my leg |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| I’m a long way from Colorado, a long way from my home |
| …get the hammer that killed John Henry, won’t kill me no more |
| Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry, cos it won’t kill me |
| Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry, cos it won’t kill me |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Take this hammer carry it to the Captain, tell him I’m goin' home |
| Take this hammer carry it to the Captain, tell him why I’m gone |
| I’m a wanted man with the Captain |
| I’m a wanted man in the shackles |
| I’m a wanted man in the shackles |
| I’m a wanted man… |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| Who killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
| I killed John Henry, in the battle of sinners and saints |
