Spike Driver Blues
Now John Henry was a steel driving man
But he went down, he went down
This that hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me, no it won't kill me
Now John Henry had a little wife
Name of Polly Ann, name of Polly Ann
When John Henry was sick in bed
Drove steal like a man, just a like a man
Ain't nobody never drove steel
Like Polly Ann, like Polly Ann
Take this hammer to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
I'm headed back to east Colorado
Honey that's my home, honey that's my home
Now Polly Ann laid her hammer down
On the side of the road, on the side of the road
Now Polly Ann laid her hammer down
All painted red, all painted red
But he went down, he went down
This that hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me, no it won't kill me
Now John Henry had a little wife
Name of Polly Ann, name of Polly Ann
When John Henry was sick in bed
Drove steal like a man, just a like a man
Ain't nobody never drove steel
Like Polly Ann, like Polly Ann
Take this hammer to my captain
Tell him I'm gone, tell him I'm gone
I'm headed back to east Colorado
Honey that's my home, honey that's my home
Now Polly Ann laid her hammer down
On the side of the road, on the side of the road
Now Polly Ann laid her hammer down
All painted red, all painted red
