Lyrics John Henry and the Old North Wind - Joe Purdy

John Henry and the Old North Wind

Come in, come in John Henry
Come in out of the cold
Cause that old north wind is callin'
But it ain’t time for you to go Sit down, Miss Pollyanna
Please wait for my return
Cause that old north wind is callin'
But my love for you still burns
Don’t go, don’t go John Henry
Please lay down your hammer today
Cause that old north wind is callin'
And she’ll put you in the grave
Don’t worry Pollyanna
You know that I can’t stay home
But if that old north wind comes callin'
I will fight her like a hammer to stone
Come quick, Miss Pollyanna
John Henry was taken today
And that old north wind came callin'
He was still fighting as he faded away
