John Henry Lives |
| Hear the whistle blow far off in the still night without stars |
| See the tracks laid flat with a hammer’s might |
| They’re the spike driver’s scars |
| They’re the spike driver’s scars |
| By the railroad ties there a hammer lies |
| It’s all painted in red |
| It’s all painted in red |
| It’s all painted in red |
| The west springs up from the spike driver’s blues |
| And the captain’s new shiny shoes |
| Take to him this hat and hammer and tell him I’m gone |
| Won’t you tell him I’m gone |
| I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone I’m gone |
