This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
No it won't kill me
No it won't kill me
Take this hammer and hand to a captain
And tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone
John Henry he left his hammer
Laying side of the road
Laying side of the road
Laying side of the road
John Henry he left his hammer
All painted in red
All painted in red
All painted in red
John Henry he left his hammer
Laying side of the road
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Won't you tell him I'm gone
John Henry he left his hammer
All painted in red
All painted in red
All painted in red
