Jackhammer John |
| Jackhammer John was a jackhammer man |
| Born with a jackhammer in his hand |
| Lord, Lord And he had them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I built your roads and buildings too |
| And I’m gonna build a damn or two |
| Lord, Lord, well I had them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I was borned in Portland town |
| Built every port from Alasky down |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| Built your bridges, dug your mines |
| Been in jail a thousand times |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| Jackhammer, jackhammer, where ya been? |
| Been out a-chasin' them gals again |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| Jackhammer man from a jackhammer town |
| I can hammer till the sun goes down |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I hammered on the boulder, hammered on the butte |
| Columbia River on a five-mile chute |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| Workin' on the Bonneville, hammered all night |
| A-tryin' to bring the people some electric light |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I hammered on Bonneville, Coulee too |
| Always broke when my job was through |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I hammered on the river from sun to sun |
| Fifteen million salmon run |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I hammered in the rain, I hammered in the dust |
| I hammered in the best and I hammered in the worst |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got a jackhammer gal just as sweet as pie |
| And I’m a-gonna hammer till the day I die |
| Lord, Lord, well I got them jackhammer blues |
| I got them jackhammer blues |
