Spike Driver Blues
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone
Just tell him I'm gone
I'm sure I'm gone
This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
Well, but it won't kill me
This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
It's a long ways from East Colorado
Headed to my home
Headed to my home
Well, headed to my home
Well, it's a long ways to East Colorado
Headed to my home
Headed to my home
That's where I'm goin'
John Henry, he left his hammer
Layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
John Henry, he left his hammer
All over them rails
All over them rails
That's why I'm gone
Now, John Henry was a steel-driving boy
But he went down
But he went down
But he went down
John Henry was a steel-driving boy
But he went down
But he went down
But he went down
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Just tell him I'm gone
I'm sure I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Tell him I'm gone
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Tell him I'm gone
Just tell him I'm gone
I'm sure I'm gone
This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
Well, but it won't kill me
This is the hammer that killed John Henry
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
But it won't kill me
It's a long ways from East Colorado
Headed to my home
Headed to my home
Well, headed to my home
Well, it's a long ways to East Colorado
Headed to my home
Headed to my home
That's where I'm goin'
John Henry, he left his hammer
Layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
Layin' 'side the road
John Henry, he left his hammer
All over them rails
All over them rails
That's why I'm gone
Now, John Henry was a steel-driving boy
But he went down
But he went down
But he went down
John Henry was a steel-driving boy
But he went down
But he went down
But he went down
Take this hammer and carry it to the captain
Won't you tell him I'm gone
Just tell him I'm gone
I'm sure I'm gone
