The Ballad Of John Henry
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
I don't want your cold iron shackles
'Round my leg
I don't want your cold iron shackles
'Round my leg
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
I'm a long way from Colorado
A long way from my home
Get the hammer that killed John Henry
Won't kill me no more
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
'Cause it won't kill me
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
'Cause it won't kill me
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
I'm a wanted man with the Captain
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
I killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
Take this hammer carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
I don't want your cold iron shackles
'Round my leg
I don't want your cold iron shackles
'Round my leg
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
I'm a long way from Colorado
A long way from my home
Get the hammer that killed John Henry
Won't kill me no more
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
'Cause it won't kill me
Gimme the hammer that killed John Henry
'Cause it won't kill me
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him I'm goin' home
Take this hammer, carry it to the Captain
Tell him why I'm gone
I'm a wanted man with the Captain
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man in the shackles
I'm a wanted man
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
Who killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
I killed John Henry
In the battle of sinners and saints
