Well, when | |
John Henry died he lay lookin' at the sun | |
He said Lord, take me now my work is done, | |
Lord, Lord | |
Lord take me now my work is done | |
Yeah, but when they laid him out in that box of pine, boy | |
They laid that hammer by his side, | |
Lord, Lord | |
Laid that hammer by his side | |
Yeah, and | |
Joe Hill he worked any job he could find, boy | |
He'd rake your leaves and pick your vine, | |
Lord, Lord | |
Rake your leaves and pick your vine | |
Yeah, and they killed | |
Joe Hill, put a bullet to his name | |
But that bullet made a martyr of the same, | |
Lord, Lord | |
Bullet made a martyr of the same | |
Yeah, and my grand daddy worked his whole damn life | |
Well, he never saved a nickel though he tried, | |
Lord, Lord | |
Never saved a nickel though he tried | |
And he died in | |
Tennessee but he couldn't find no rest | |
With that long road to | |
Texas lyin' ahead, | |
Lord LordLong road to | |
Texas lyin' ahead | |
Yes sir, I ain't no great man and | |
Lord I expect to see | |
A long life, a workin' and you're dead, | |
Lord, Lord | |
A long life, a workin' and you're dead | |
They killed | |
John Henry, they killed | |
John Henry | |
They killed | |
John Henry but they won't kill me | |
Lord, they killed | |
John Henry, they killed | |
John Henry | |
They killed | |
John Henry but they won't kill me |
