Lyrics

John Henry was a steel-drivin' boy
But he went down
Boys take my hammer, carry it to my captain
Tell 'em I'm gone
It's a long, long way from East Colorad
To my home
John Henry done left his hammer
All painted in red
Shining in red
John henry's dead
Boys take my hammer, carry it to my captain
Tell 'em I'm gone
Written by: Mississippi John Hurt
